Hey the blood clot could keep the flow of oxygen and blood to the baby thats why he is taking those prcautions of staying on bed rest....Normally they would give u a blood thinner but since ur preggy I dont think they can b/c it might get to the baby!! I dont know what else to tell u but stay on bed rest and relax read lots of magazines and good luck w/ ur baby!!!
