Is swollen legs after c section normal??

Question

I just had my baby via c section on Saturday. Tuesday I noticed that my legs were swollen and haven’t gone down. Is that normal? I was on iv and antibiotics the whole time I was in the hospital could that be why?

Answer

Hmmm definitely call the ER or your doctor - swelling after any surgery is a circulation issue and you’re at higher risk for blood clots in your legs. Don’t rely on glow for answers - call a professional!

Answer

I’ve heard you tend to swell even more before it actually goes away after a c section.

Answer

My legs and feet were SO swollen after my c section. They finally went back to normal after 2 weeks. My nurse said it was normal
