Omg my feet looked like small potatoes after delivery! 😂 Honestly, keeping them elevated on three pillows and drinking lots of water did the trick, even though getting up to pee every hour was annoying.

I totally understand how uncomfortable those swollen feet can feel when you are already trying to care for your sweet newborn. Try keeping your feet up on a pillow whenever you lie down, it really helps ease the fluid build-up.

Swellings are very common after delivery. Try soaking your feet in warm water with a little salt, and try not to sit with your legs hanging down.

Please be very gentle with yourself right now. Elevate your feet and avoid standing for long, but if the swelling is very high or in only one leg, please contact your doctor immediately to rule out any complications.

Garam paani me thoda sendha namak dalkar pair duba kar baitho 15 min, saara dard aur swelling kam ho jayega. High heels ya tight sandals bilkul mat pehnna abhi.
