It all depends: There is no exact percentage of how likely you are of getting a DVT as the etiology is multifactorial. Howevery pregnancy, a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight however all increase your chances of getting a DVT, but genetics also plays a role as some people have a genetic predisposition. If you think you might have a DVT, you need to go to your nearest ER.
