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.
Postpartum edema
Hi ladies! My baby boy is 6 days old today. I am suffering with edema. My feet are so swollen and tight it's starting to hurt! How many of you suffered postpartum swelling in the feet and legs? How long did it last? Any tips for relief? I've tried elevating and drinking lots of water.
