Blood Clots After Delivery
Symptoms of Blood Clots After Delivery
A fever that develops after delivery may be caused by a blood clot. When a blood clot forms in a leg vein, the affected part of the leg, often the calf, may be painful, tender to the touch, warm, and swollen. A blood clot in the pelvis may not cause symptoms. The first sign of pulmonary embolism may be shortness of breath or chest pain.
