Swollen feet and ankles

[Lilelephant]

I mentioned it before in left hospital and mw said it was normal but wondered for how long it feels like I have sponges for feet lol

My MW said that it gets worse initially after giving birth but then goes quite quickly. She had better not be lying coz I'm sick of having feet n ankles like balloons grrrrr.

Also the carpel tunnel better go quick too. I couldn't open a bottle of lucozade today, had to wait for DH to come home.

Apologies for the rant I'm a bit random today.

Lol nk bless u! I think mine is due to the immobility after the epidural etc

I think my swelling had totally gone within about a week of giving birth. I found it a right nightmare walking downstairs with my big puffy feet!!

I did manage to get into my high heel boots before an after birth, my OH had to try really hard to do my zip up lol but after a day of wearing them my feet went down !! but i dont think eveyone will wear 5 inc heel's lol Not good advice sorry! x
