Postpartum edema

Mine lasted about 2.5 weeks after my c-section. It was so bad that I could barely even wear flip flops or any clothes other than pjs. My doctor told me that it can sometimes be worse if you have any pitocin or if they have to give you any fluids during labor. Make sure you’re drinking a ton of water, keeping your feet elevated when possible, and avoid having too much sodium.

Mine went down in the hospital. I think it was from the fluids they gave me. I made sure to drink a lot of water and keep my feet elevated.

I did all three times. It takes time for the extra fluid to leave your body postpartum. It can take a few weeks sometimes. I had preeclampsia with my first and had major swelling for a long time postpartum.

Mine lasted like 4 months I still get some swelling but not as bad I had bad preeclampsia where my liver started failing

Buy compression socks, they’ll save your life! I got a 5 pack of them on amazon for $14.99. I had bad swelling for 2-3 weeks postpartum. Wear the socks day & night, you’ll notice a difference quickly!
