“I'm pregnant taking blood thinners for clots in my leg?”

During pregnancy your blood volume increases significantly to accommodate for the fetal growth. This can complicate health issues such as DVT. However, a more natural alternative has proven to be beneficial and safe. Eating 2-3 large garlic cloves daily will aid in breaking down blood clots and thus improving circulation. Additionally it aids in healthy cell development of your unborn, decreasing risk of abnormalities.

No.  It is doubtful that missing just one dose will cause harm.
