When I was pregnant in 2019 with my 2nd baby, I remember briefly being asked the VTE risk questions however I do not remember being explained just how large a risk being pregnant was to developing a clot. I had a higher risk pregnancy with a high BMI and gestational diabetes so I was quite overwhelmed with information at most midwife appointments.
