1st Post Got Messed Up - Doctors Please Help URGENT

My sister is 26 weeks pregnant and has been having pain in her calf for a couple of days. We have a history of clotting issues in my family - mostly from me. I had a DVT in my right calf about 2 years ago and then lost my full term daughter last year due to clots in the placenta.

My sister went to her OB today and they sent her home because the OB could not feel a knot in my sister's left calf (the one bothering her) and there was not red spot on the skin. My DVT had neither of these symptoms and it was there!!! They also measured her calfs and her left one is 2" bigger in diameter! Isn't this cause for concern?

Isn't it pretty careless that her OB is not doing a vascular u/s?

Please advise.... thanks!!!!!!
