Oh you poor dear.  I am dreading this.

Have you tried standing on your head? That's the only thing I can think would possibly help all the fluid drain.

You poor thing! {{Hugs}}

i have no idea!!! extra fluid built up due to the IV fluids??? but it sucks!! and it really hurts.

mine look like that now, but they're even more puffy on top. It's painful.

Only did when I had epidurals in previous births. I didn't have an epi this last delivery and I had ZERO swelling. None, zip, zilch.

OP- you poooooooor thing! Chug that water!!!

At almost two weeks after birth? That seems like a long time to still be swollen from IV fluids. You might want to mention it to your doc.

But ditto others--my feet look like that now!!

I would check your area and see if you have a Physical Therapist that specializes in lymphedema . . . . and ask your dr to write you a script for PT. The therapist will give you a special kind of massage on your feet and legs that will work wonders for the swelling. ( I use to work in a PT office that specialized in that)
