My csection is in 10 days and this past Tuesday my legs, feet and ankles have decided to swell like crazy. BP normal, urine ok, just decided to swell. I'm not complaining bc I only have 10 days to go and i havent had to deal with this for long but man it's a pain in the butt to need new pants, yes, I'm that swollen and new shoes! Doctor isn't worried in the least!

    I feel your pain. My feet resemble Fred Flintstone's feet. I have ten days until my section, too! Get those feet up!

    I just started to swell this week. I gained 3 lb overnight which was freaking me out all day. OB said its fine at our appt today. I'm trying not to focus on the swelling but my feet and legs feel so heavy.

    I've had swelling for the last few weeks.  The one thing that always helps me is to spend an hour in the pool.  The weightlessness helps the blood flowing again.  If your neighborhood, friend/family has a pool...go!  Even if it's just for an hour...good luck!

    I'm 38w4d and my swelling has been out of control for the past week!  My hands and feet are HUGE. My skin is stretched sooo tight!  At least all of the c-section ladies have an end-date in sight, I'm just waiting it out....

    I'm just waiting it out as well. Hats strange about mine I that it only defects my right ankle and pot. Huh? I figured it would be both.
