Help idk if I should see a doc???

Question

My feet are so swollen they are technically numb....baby is 1 week today....I know certain symptoms happen after you have your baby...but I'm also suffering from dizziness, light headedness, and severe headaches since she's been born. Is this normal or should I see a doc?

Answer

Those are all of the symptoms of preeclampsia.

Answer

These are signs of pre clampsia and you can stay preeclamptic up to 4 weeks po. YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR NOW.

Answer

Definitely call your doc. As another said these are symptoms of pre ecclampsia. Even if you didn't have it before delivery it can appear after delivery. I imagine your dr. Will at least want to check your blood pressure.  Do the headaches go away if you lay flat? Or get a little better when you drink caffeine? If so, it could be a spinal headache related to having an epidural during labor. Either, your doctor can help evaluate those things.

Answer

It is always best to call your doctor.  I had this too where I was so swollen I could
Barely walk.  Mine was just a normal postpartum thing and nothing big, but if you have that and have headaches and you had an epidural it could be something with the epidural and you'll have to go in for a blood patch.

Answer

I had the same thing-- I would consult with your dr. They are currently monitoring my BP & will have to go on something if it's not down by Wednesday.

Answer

My feet were super swollen for about 2 weeks after I had the baby, very uncomfortable! I didn't have the other symptoms through, can't hurt to call your Dr , he/she may want to check your blood pressure
