Any tips to help post c-section leg/feet swelling go down?

It’s been a week and they are the same supper swollen and not getting any better :/ dr keeps telling me it’s normal and can take weeks to go away but with two munchkins it’s hard to stay off my feet and they are hurting so much to the point that I loose balance once i a while.

Answer

My legs are swollen too.. I didn't deal with it during my pregnancy but I'm dealing with it now.. makes my legs feel like they have cinder blocks attached to them.. when I sleep they go down. When i stand they swell up.. so I lay down often.

Answer

You could try compression stockings, but honestly the best way is to get them and keep them as elevated as possible to help the fluid return back into your central circulation.

Like, literally lay on your back with your feet propped straight up against the wall.
