I had my daughter Friday and I was wondering how long did you ladies have swelling? My calves get so tight from the water weight I'm assuming. My fingers also are bad. I'm just hoping to goes away soon lol
@ligermama, thanks for the info! I'm gonna see how I am tomorrow and I'll call if I have to. They said I would be swollen because of the water weight coming off but I also had bad headaches before being preggo & I was on special meds for it. I haven't started back up yet since having her
A headache could mean eclampsia so they'll want to check your blood pressure if you're swollen with a bad headache. I had never heard that about the clots before! I was always told to take them seriously but of course always listen to your doctor! That's just what they told me when I was swollen after birth :)
@ligermama, what does that mean if you have those? I only had a clot twice but they told me if its not bigger or the same size as a gold ball it's okay.
Yeah, hard to tell what the real culprit is!! That's why they had me go to a CVS to take my blood pressure if I had a headache. But definitely give them a call :) Feel better!!
