Oedema Swelling 2 weeks after c section

Did anyone have oedema in their feet after a c section? I M nearly 2 weeks post c section and the oedema is in my feet and it's so itchy at night. When does this go and does it point to any issues? I think they did use extra fluids during my c section.

Did you have high blood pressure then? How long did it take for ur foot swelling to go down? I tried compressions n socks and it made my feet so itchy to the point I'd scratch and risk cellulitis.

Any fluids shouldn’t be impacting you two weeks later. Are you able to take your blood pressure at home? Swelling like this could be a sign of preeclampsia. If your blood pressure is a little high, I’d see a provider asap

My blood pressure was OK it was checked by the GP today...

TMI After Baby no.2

This is embarrassing but have any other mammas after 2nd baby had anything similar to this?

Basically since having my second baby I cannot wear any light coloured underwear because I end up with 💩 stains on them. Even if I’ve not gone no.2 that day or whether I’ve thoroughly wiped after it seems like no matter what I do I end up with small stains on my undies. It’s not like I’ve pooped myself or anything but it’s as if I’ve not wiped properly even when I know I have/ haven’t even pooped.

This has never happened to me before and it’s so embarrassing trying to be intimate or feel comfortable in myself.

Should I maybe go to Drs?

I’m 8 months pp and it’s been happening since I gave birth for reference.
