Postpartum swelling

Brittany • Mother of 3 beautiful girls!
I just had my DD last Wednesday, and was wondering if the swelling in my feet, ankles, and legs were normal? My entire pregnancy, I never dealt with swollen feet. During the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy, and during my delivery my blood pressure was slightly elevated, but never any protein in urine. I have been drinking water all day non stop since delivery and elevating my feet when possible, and nothing seems to be helping. They're becoming too painful to walk on, and not to mention my shoes don't even fit because of how swollen they are! Is this normal?! Help!
