I was swollen after labor from the fluids and antibiotics. It lasted about a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415448 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:57:41 +0000 Sapphiresun 1415448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I gave birth in the middle of a heat wave. My feet were so swollen for a couple weeks that I couldn't even put on flip flops. I have several pictures of my feet because I was so surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415441 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:55:49 +0000 MrsH 1415441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - 18 days pp and my feet still look like they connect directly into my calves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415429 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:52:32 +0000 MsLipGloss 1415429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

I didn't swell at all with pregnancy. I was kinda mad no one told me about the PP swelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415419 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:50:13 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1415419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh! I didn't know this happened. Does it happen from having an IV? Eek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415404 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:48:01 +0000 yoursilverlining 1415404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...it took months (felt like years!!) for my swelling to go down after LO popped out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415394 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:46:05 +0000 Dandelion 1415394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, both times. My feet were marshmallows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415390 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:45:25 +0000 lamariniere 1415390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a bit swollen after my 2nd LO was born. I hadn't noticed any swelling during the pregnancy though. It took about 5 days for the swelling to go down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415386 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:44:31 +0000 blackbird 1415386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. I didn't think it was that bad when i had the baby, but the photos don't lie! I'm like the puffy marshmallow man :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415381 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:43:46 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1415381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! a lot. I wasn't prepared for it at all. no one had told me that I'd swell after giving birth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415375 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:43:14 +0000 littlebug 1415375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Same here. Barely any swelling during pregnancy (my hands/knuckles a little bit). But afterwards? It was like StayPuft Marshmallow up in this piece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415267 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:25:44 +0000 MamaJ 1415267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. I was swollen from all the fluids. I was also extremely swollen during pregnancy. When it finally all went down I was like "my feet and ankles are soo skinny!!" I hadn't seen them normal in months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-swelling-after-pregnancy#post-1415231 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:18:15 +0000 mrsjyw 1415231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had issues with swelling through pregnancy. But post-partum, my hands, feet, legs, face BLEW UP from an IV-edema and took almost 2-3 weeks to go back to "normal."</p> <p>Anyone else? </p>
