i had a c-section and the same day i came home i notice swelling in a few days i was unable to walk open my legs it was very painful when it was going down after 3wks it was so sore i had to rub them 2-3x a day its called postpartum swelling. mines was so bad the doctor said i had edema
I stayed swollen for a while actually I swelled after delivery not during pregnancy with my son
mine were swollen for awhile and my daughters nicu nurse would get on me about drinking more water lol
