Delivered 3 weeks back and my legs and feet are still so puffy with all this water retention. I dont mean actual fat, just the bloating type weight. What helped u mommies get rid of it?
I am still pregnant and enjoying my cravings, but my friends say postpartum sweating and peeing gets rid of most water weight. Don't starve yourself, just eat clean!
Drinking plenty of water actually helps flush out the retained fluids. However, please consult your doctor before starting any restrictive diets or heavy exercises postpartum.
I am in my second trimester and already feeling so bloated and swollen. Do we really lose all this water weight quickly after delivery? I'm so anxious about it.
Your body has been through such a long, beautiful journey to bring your baby here. Be very gentle with yourself, the water weight will naturally reduce as your body heals.
I spent months throwing up, so postpartum recovery was all about regaining strength. Eat simple, low-sodium home food and the swelling will go down gradually without extreme measures.
Drinking lukewarm water with a little jeera can help with bloating naturally. But if your feet are extremely swollen or painful, please consult your doctor to check your blood pressure.
With my PCOS, losing post-pregnancy weight took a long time, so don't rush. The water weight mostly goes away on its own in the first few weeks as hormones settle.
