Anybody have a c section and their legs and feet swelled up because of iv fluids? Mine are puffy and what did you do for them to go down.
I try to drink lots of water but I also have a pill that helps me stop bloating. It has corn silk in it. I'd have to look at the bottle to remember what it's called.
My feet were so swollen I couldn't fit into my shoes!!!
It did go down gradually, but took at least a week after we got home!
I kept them up as much as possible, drank lots of water, and just waited for them to go down. Took about 10-14 days.
Walk around. And massages help too elevate your feet and massage them then get up and walk around for a bit. This happened to me when I was hospitalized during my last pregnancy I swelled up like crazy from 8 bags of IV fluids they gave me.
Oh and drink LOTS of water to flush your system
Yup, after two weeks you'll be back to normal 👍
My right arm swelled because of the fluids, the nurse just took the iv out and waited for the swelling to go down on its own!
