My due date was 4/16 but I delivered via c section a week ago on 2/1/2020. In the last month of my pregnancy I swelled really bad due to preeclampsia. Swelling all thru my legs to the point I couldn’t fit any shoes or pants. I am still experiencing this swelling in my feet and legs, sometimes it is worse than when I was pregnant. I was wondering any moms who have dealt with edema during and postpartum. How long did it take for you to stop swelling? Did you do anything to speed up the process? I’ve heard nettle leaf tea is a natural diuretic and it also helps with milk production.

I’m dealing with my c section pain fine but this swelling makes me miserable!!!!!
