Delivered my baby almost three weeks back and my feet and ankles are still so swollen, i thought it would go after delivery. What did u all do to bring it down? Any home things that actually worked?
It's normal after delivery and reduces over a couple of weeks. Stay hydrated, keep moving a little, and rest your legs up. Dont cut water thinking it'll help, that actually makes it worse.
Oh the postpartum swelling caught me off guard too, my feet were so puffy after delivery. It honestly went down on its own over a couple of weeks for me. Keeping my legs up while feeding the baby helped a lot.
I delivered recently and the swelling was worse the first week, then slowly eased. Lots of water, gentle walking and elevating my legs really helped. If it suddenly increases or one leg swells more, do tell your doctor though.
