2 days pp (vbac) and I have a lot of swellen in my hands, feet and face. Is this supposed to happen or should I contact my dr? Kinda weird. Got discharged this morning and didn't have any swelling then

That makes sense. It was a little weird bc I didn't have much swelling when I was pregnant. My right hand was tingling before it started to swell too.

Much of the swelling is caused by the bags of IV fluids that you receive during labor. I didn't get an IV, I didn't have any swelling.

This happened to me after my last birth and I had headaches as well. Checked my blood pressure and it was high so I rushed to the er and they put me on meds to bring my blood pressure down. It was preeclampsia.

I haven't had too bad of a time with swelling this entire pregnancy.. Just the occasional minimal ankle swelling when I've been on my feet all day.. But now my feet have ballooned up and I had them up! I wasn't on my feet. Should I be concerned?

goldilocksn4bears I think it's so important that the first person she sees is her mommy immediately after birth.
kiss3sfroml33 I agree thankfully my doc is all about skin to skin immediately after birth. Plus that rooms
goldilocksn4bears It sounds like you have a great doctor. Good luck!
