Hi - I had a c section 3 days ago and I am so swollen. My legs and feet are probably three times their normal size. Did this happen to anyone else?? I'm at the hospital right now with my baby he's been admitted for observation but I was just wondering if this happened to other people postpartum

Mine were swelling due to the medication they gave me. Mine lasted about a week just keep them elevated.

Put your legs up in something it helps

I had it doctors told me it was normal

Weird they didn't seem worried . Saw my doctor today we talked about it and he told me it was normal postpartum because of all the extra fluid :o my swelling has gotten worse not bette4

I have a question when you have c section how does you stomach

[cecilia_morgan]

Uhm I didn't get swollen. But that is one thing they watch for in the hospital brute your sent home to make sure you dint get swollen. Im very srybi do not remember what it means I just know it can be a bad thing and isn't good you need to let your doctor know immediately.

I had preeclamplsia with my first and again with tjis one too! With my first it took a couple of days to get a urine test without protein but I felt so much better after delivery and swelling went pretty quick. Is your swelling going down?

[scarletbegoniass]

Aw crap well I got discharged today they saw the size of them and my BP was pretty good I had preeclampsia so it was on the high side anyways but at least I'm still at the hospital I guess lol

I didn't have that after mine. Maybe let your dr know so they can check your blood pressure. I hope everything is ok with you and baby!
