That's normal, rest rest rest & elevate your feet when you can! My hands & feet never got swollen during pregnancy, after baby they got huge! The doctor told me no shoes & loose socks. I couldn't even fit shoes on lol

@prettybrown4268, girl I was swollen everywhere after birth. But made sure my blood pressure was good cause was worried about eclampsia (not pre eclampsia) Dr said it's very common to have swelling after birth. It gets worse before it gets better. Just a few days ago mines finally all went away. I was scared cause during pregnancy never had swelling. It's just a fluid shift nothing to worry about and seeing how anemic we both were the fluids go into the interstitial spaces (not Gonna bore you with the medical terminology) but it goes down trust me. I elevated above my heart and drank my water as usual.

@nirseriri, I put my feet up more! Truthfully I've been trying to go back to business as usual but I gotta realize I can't right now. But I'll drink more water as well.

My daughter was in the NICU & I didn't let myself rest enough :( I was so worried about her I didn't care for the pain meds they would put me to sleep & that meant I couldn't go see her. Thank god the hospital was nearby because even after they released me I was stubborn getting my husband up every 2 hrs to go see her & feed her! I could barely walk & I was putting my body through a lot. If you have the help take advantage of it, I wish I could've had a smoother recovery!
