A member asked:
If my mom and sister never had dvt in their pregnancies? what are my chances? could i still get clots even though no history in family during my preg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Trauma, obesity, prior personal history, stagnation,hypercoagulability. Watch the weight, keep moving, and follow instructions, and the chances are lower. Lower extremity swelling,stasis, immobility, are culprits.
