C-sections

7.5 months post-partum and still having edema

 I am 7.5 months post-partum a pre-e pregnancy that ended with a c-section. LO had IUGR, too.  I am still intermittently experiencing swelling (painful edema) in my right lower leg like I did during the pregnancy.  Anyone experience this?  Is this normal?  Last time I had it checked, my BP was normal again...although it did take several months to go back down.  My C-section is still a little sore when I work out, but otherwise seems to be fine.  Any thoughts?

Re: 7.5 months post-partum and still having edema

  • Yes, it is in my kind of ankle/calf region in one leg, but I have had it more than once so I would not think it would be a clot. It is almost exactly like the swelling I had in my pregnancy. My right leg was always way worse than my left leg.

  • I experienced that too . Ended up I have a condition called vascular reflux in both legs.
