Postpartum swelling

ruthyanny · February 2013

My sweet little man was born on 21213. I had to be induced due to high blood pressure. On Friday my feet started to swell really bad. With my first I was also induced and had swelling issues then as well. At that time my dr told me it was normal due to all the fluid that was pumped into me. This time it just seems worse. They are a little numb and huge! It hurts to walk and to bend my ankles because they are so swollen. I wish i could remember how long it lasted with my first but I can't : I'm not really sure if it warrants a call to my dr on a Sunday or not? Is anyone else dealing with this? I'm posting from my phone so hopefully there aren't too many errors in this post :

Yep my feet have been crazy swollen. And I barely had any swelling during pregnancy. I also delivered on 2/12. Mine is on and off. Hopefully it goes away soon.

I was also induced on 2/4. The swelling lasted about a week or so I did lots of ankle pumps and made sure to get up and walk when possible. When sitting I made sure to get my feet up! Good luck

I had been pretty swollen in my last weeks of pregnancy, but it got about ten times worse after delivery! My OB said it was normal especially since I was on IV fluids for 9 hours. It all disappeared overnight exactly one week after birth.
Same to all of this. I felt like I woke up one morning about a week after delivery and was suddenly unswollen. 

This makes me feel so much better! Thanks!!
