DVT or SVT ?
Has anyone developed either of these after labour? I’m really concerned about my leg and I’ll be going to the drs tomorrow. What were your signs/symptoms? How did they diagnose? Treatment? Yes I know none of y’all are drs, just asking for experiences!

I had multiple clots in a superficial vein (varicose) that was diagnosed 4 days pp, I think as I had an epidural & minimal movement for around 20h. I had a patch of swelling, warm to touch, red ans sore. I’d definitely get it checked out, I was given an ultrasound scan of the veins in my leg to rule out DVT. Treatment was a longer course of the blood thinning injections I’d been given to prevent clots at discharge.
They are quite keen to know if swelling is bigger in one leg than the other when they’re assessing this stuff I found - guess that’s how they distinguish between the usual swelling and possible clots
