Postpartum swelling help!?

I drank tons and tons of water. But it took like 11 days to go away completely! Hang in there 😩

That happened to me too! I didn’t even have swollen feet during pregnancy but I did postpartum. Elevate and a good rub and warm water!

Mine were swollen for a good week or so, so I feel your pain!!

I feel like they went down more the more water I drank. Sorry I don’t have better advice... I think it’s just part of the process :/

For me it took around 2 weeks to go away completely.

That happened to me with my first. It took about ten days to go away. Elevated and drink water

Drink a lot of water! It might seem like more water won’t help but it helps flush out all the excess. Also elevate your feet. I also soaked my feet in cold water for 20 minute increments and that helped the most. My feet were super swollen after birth.

This happened to me ! 😭😭😭 I lasted a week like this 😓 just make sure you drink lots & lots of water

Try compression socks. It helped reduce mine!

I swelled so bad after my c section!!! I wound up with cellulitis on my stomach. I was walking around with a hot heavy belly!!! I didn't think my feet and ankles could get so puffy. Drank a lot of water and it eventually went away. Took awhile though.

Took about 7-10 days for my swelling to go down. Drink tons of water, walk as much as you can, keep your feet up when you can. It’ll go away soon

I second the compression sock suggestion! It's the only thing that helped me feel better, and within a few days it was manageable and not horribly uncomfortable at least. Also make sure to drink tons of water. Good luck!

Water water water!! After my c section I didnt recognize my feet and that’s because of all the iv. Drink lots of water and if you’re up for it walk as much as you can (with assistance). If by any chance you took hospital compression socks or have your own those should help as well

My feet were so swollen that I couldn’t walk. Mine lasted for about 5 days but soaking them in epson salt helped.

Woof, mama this reminds me of how miserable I was after my csection 😓 it took me so long to get this to stop like between 3-5 months, but I think it was all about my genetics, personally.... wishing you speedy deflation!!!

I had swelling like that after my second baby was born. Drinking lots of water helped me and I also tried to cut back on salt and soaked my feet in cold water then eventually broke down and bought some compression socks. Those were so hard to get on at first but they really helped, my feet were in pain from swelling but after about a week the swelling was gone.

Mine were like this after my second! I was starting to get worried but then it just went away one day. I think it lasted a week for me. But they got huge and uncomfortable. Elevating them helped a lot but I didn’t really try anything else.

I had swelling both my c-section my suggestion is put your feet in a bucket with some water and salt . Water needs to be a little cold and salt helps to it worked for me. My mom did so hope works out.

Compression socks, lots of water and keeping your feet elevated. It took 2 weeks for my feet and legs to go down. But I really believe the compression socks was the key.

Mine were soooo swollen! It goes away.

Rest elevation fluids and compression.
