Lasted about two weeks. I had to buy men's flip flops since mine didn't fit!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-swelling#post-735872 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:53:11 +0000 immabeetoo 735872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ten days or so.

Although I guess I still have a little swelling because my rings don't fit. But at least my feet look pretty normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-swelling#post-735839 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:30:06 +0000 Smurfette 735839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine didn't last for that long. Most was gone in a couple days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-swelling#post-735833 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:06:38 +0000 loveisstrange 735833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: Haha, I was due March 28th and lived in flip flops because nothing else fit. Even they left giant indentations in my feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-swelling#post-735830 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:03:56 +0000 lomom 735830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: yikes! I was thinking it'd be days. Mine are pretty swollen as well, I can only wear this giant pair of slippers my husband went out and bought lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-swelling#post-735827 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:58:54 +0000 loveisstrange 735827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine took a couple of months to go away completely. I was really, really swollen, so mine took a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-swelling#post-735826 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:54:09 +0000 lomom 735826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 9 days post partum and my feet are still really puffy. I've been drinking tons of water, walking quite a bit (LO was in NICU so I got a good walk in a couple times a day), and sleeping with my feet up. </p> <p>How long will this swelling last? </p>
