19y/o f, 26wks preg. blood clots in legs, on inside of knees. er doc gave antibiotics, steriods, and pain reliever, said apply heat. what else to do?

DVT: If you are pregnant and have the blood clots you described, are they on the surface (varicose veins) or deeper? If they are deeper, the concern is that you may have a blood clot in the deeper veins that could cause more problems. Did he suggest you see your doctor at some interval? Based on where the clots were, i would recommend following up sooner than your next scheduled visit.
