PP mamas: Swelling

ksyknelvr73 · May 2014

I am having tons of swelling this time around and I am 5 days PP. Other May mamas who had swelling after delivery, how long did it take to go away?

I was horribly swollen ! Took 2 weeks to go away.

Last pregnancy, it tooka good two weeks for the swelling to subside. I still have some swelling now at 8 days post partum.

My feet and ankles were crazy swollen from 3-5 days, almost to the point of pain. They were pretty much normal
today.

Definitely thought we were talking about swollen lady bits! Haha, I was swollen down there for about a week. But other swelling: still can't wear anything but flip flops and my wedding rings still don't fit either and I'm 25 days PP.

I'm 5w pp and still very swollen. Not as much as when I was in the hospital (I could hardly walk my legs and feet felt like they would pop if I put weight on them), but still too swollen to wear real shoes.

It was a good week before my feet started to go down and probably 10 days before I felt normal again. However, I just read online it takes up to 2 weeks but past that you should consult a physician.

I'm still a bit swollen, but it's getting better. I just keep pounding water. Not sure what else I can do.

@cbrust‌ it kinda makes me feel better I'm not the only one who still can't wear their wedding rings. I had swelling in my feet and ankles for about a week after and it seems to have gone down a lot. But I think I still have some. My hands don't look or feel swollen but I still can't get my rings on.. I'm hoping within a month I can.

OMG, I was so ridiculously swollen this time AFTER my csection. It actually frightened me. I NEVER thought that I would see my ankles again. At about 8-9 days it subsided. My belly is still swollen and my hands are still a little off (I am 19 days PP)...but it is SOOO much better.

PS @jsaffer01, I am also unable to get my rings on. Took me about a month last pregnancy.

I was SO swollen. My feet and legs weren't back to normal for a full two weeks.

I was so swollen after CS I could hardly walk even days later. I kept drinking water, walking, and elevating and nothing was helping. After a week everyday it would get a tiny bit better, but I was still miserable. I just kind of gave up at that point and figured I would have tree trunk feet forever. Then one day it literally just came off in a few hours.. About day 9 or 10 PP. Now my feet look so skinny and flat to me.. Almost deflated. Lol

I'm 12 days pp and after 3 nights of terrible night sweats I'm almost back to normal! Well, I can see my ankles again, anyway. It takes a while! Just drink a ton of water.

2 weeks pp today and still really swollen. Compression socks have helped but it's pretty bad. I was told to give it 1 more week before the dr. worries.

I had swollen feet, hands and ankles for about 3-5 days. My fingers are still a little swollen, but feet and ankles seem to be back to normal.

ksyknelvr73 · May 2014

Thanks ladies. I am on day 6 and still no sign of swelling going down but I know most doctors say to at least give it a couple weeks. I think the night sweats are starting for me so maybe in a few more days things will start to change.
