swelling after delivery

ladylisalt · September 2014

I am having hand and feet swelling and gave birth 5 days ago. DIdnt have this with my first LO. Anyone else experiencing this and do you know how long its supposed to last? I don't think I was too swollen during end of pregnancy but have noticed it more now.

My feet were extremely swollen for 10 days PP it was miserable. I kept them elevated as much as I could and drank plenty of water. GL!

yeah I prob. should elevate more. Did you have trouble with the scale moving? I haven't lost too much after delivery. (I just posted about this too).

I've lost weight but to tell the truth I'm not stressing about it. It takes time. Focus on healthy healing & LO.

It took me over a week for swelling to go down. Keep your feet up as much as possible and drink lots of water.

When it finally did start going down my feet stunk. I'm not sure if that is normal or just me, but just a heads up that it might happen haha

I was took that I would retain some water weight/ swelling until I was done breastfeeding.
