Swelling

[OrangePekoe]

I had my baby on July 30th and I am STILL super swollen on the legs and feet... does anyone know how long this can take to go away? :/

I think it took mine about 3 weeks. Are you keeping them elevated where possible? I slept with them up on a pillow in bed!

I am trying to keep my feet up when I can but it's not just my feet... I've still got pitting edema in my legs! :/ Good! Hope this will be gone 3 weeks in! lol

Mine were shocking right up to the knee! My friend found it hilarious - think she came to see my ankles not my baby

It took me a good few weeks too, my family found them hilarious! It's only now that I'm fitting into my old shoes and my lo is three months!

As the girls have said just try and keep them elevated as much as you can

Xxxxx

Oy... thanks for the responses... almost 3 weeks in now and STILL the same!

Drink loads of water and keep them up when you can. I remember how awful this was then one day I started peeing loads, woke up next morning to kind of normal legs!!! X
