Swollen feet post birth

Yes I had this like crazy post c section! Just drink plenty of water and keep your feet elevated, after around a week or so they’ll start to improve
I had no water retention during pregnancy and now my feet are huge. I was told yo stay hydrated, elevate and cold compress. Good to hear it didn't last too long for people
@Lauren mine were literally like elephants feet and I had no swelling during pregnancy so was certainly a shock 😂 it’ll seem like it’s getting worse over like a week but then randomly one day they just start going down - my husband also did like lymphatic drainage style massages on my feet to help alleviate it a little which it certainly did
@Charlotte thank you for the tip. I shall get my husband on it lol. It was definitely a shock!
Yes, this happened to me. I had to Google, but it's totally normal. It's just the fluid retention from pregnancy. I'm 9days pp and they have gone back to normal now. Just keep en eye out for the swelling not improving or going into other areas. Otherwise its fine x
