Blood Clots in Pregnancy and After Birth
What is a Blood Clot?
A blood clot is a semi-solid mass of blood cells and other substances that form inside a blood vessel, which obstructs the flow of blood and can have serious consequences.
It usually forms in the deep veins of the leg or pelvis. A piece of this clot can break and travel to the lungs. In rare cases, venous blood clots can occur in the blood vessels of the brain.
