CALL YOUR OB NOW: You may have a blood clot and that can b e fatal (kill you.) Call your OB and go right to the emergency room. Swelling can be normal. Swelling more in one leg than another can be a blood clot. The blood clot starts in your leg, but can travel to your lungs and kill you. Don't let this happen. Go to the hospital NOW. Swelling can also be a warning for preeclampsia.

Call OB doc.: Let your OB doc know right away. If you cannot reach the doc on call, get seen at the ER.
