Those who swelled after delivery

Verbose

How long did it take for the swelling to go down? I was super-swollen during pregnancy and it actually got worse after delivery. It's been one week and I haven't really gone down at all. I would really like to be able to wear my rings and shoes again, ugh!

Mine lasted about a week and a half.

I was so bad the doctor put me on a water pill. I also had high BP after delivery. I still can't wear my rings either.

Mine lasted a full 2 weeks, maybe even crept close to 2.5 weeks. My ankles, feet, and legs were incredibly swollen and it was painful! So glad that's over with finally.

Just under 2 weeks for my feet to look normal and to feel comfortable again, but I still can't wear my wedding ring.

About a week for my legs/ankles, and about 2 for me to be able to wear my ring.

Took a week for me.  I had really swollen feet and ankles for the last month of pregnancy and the swelling literally went away overnight around 7 days PP.  It was so nice to get my ankles back!

About a week.  My OB blamed it on all the fluid the dumped in me.  I didn't swell before birth...after, yes.

2 weeks and i had to have my rings resized cause they still didnt fit after the swelling was gone.

My feet returned to normal after about 2 weeks. My fingers are still a little bigger (6 weeks pp) but my rings have fit again for a couple of weeks. I may have to get them resized because they are pretty tight.

My feet and ankles started swelling when I was about 7m pregnant, and still are pretty much the same size. The girls will be 2 weeks old Thursday and they're still swollen. I'm hoping it goes away soon, it's so uncomfortable...

Two weeks for my feet, maybe? It really really helped to have DH rub my feet. He would literally try to push the fluid back into my veins, and I could always tell a difference afterward.

But it took way longer before I could wear my ring comfortably again.
