Sweet bliss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/symptoms-going-away-after-birth#post-229332 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:38:10 +0000 HLK208 229332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The swelling took a week to go away but everything else went away right after giving birth. Ahhh, it felt so nice not to feel any pressure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/symptoms-going-away-after-birth#post-229318 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:14:00 +0000 BeachMama 229318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't notice the heartburn at all after the birth but my feet were super swollen for a couple days from the IV fluids I had. I'm 8wks pp now and my feet have been killing me the past few weeks - really stiff and achy. Not sure if it's related to the pregnancy or not but hoping it goes away soon. Oh, and I still can't wear my wedding ring. I'm really afraid Ill have to get it resized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/symptoms-going-away-after-birth#post-229316 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:12:02 +0000 mediagirl 229316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was so nice to move around and not have ligament or groin pain! That was immediate for me. There was new pain but it was so much better! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/symptoms-going-away-after-birth#post-229310 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:03:33 +0000 lemondrop 229310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a day or so for swelling and heartburn to go away. I had raging heartburn during labor. I had to ask for meds since I couldn't concentrate to push.<br /> The carpal tunnel took several months to go away, but there is still a little bit of lingering tendonitis in my wrists. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/symptoms-going-away-after-birth#post-229296 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:52:51 +0000 matador84 229296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I literally cannot wait to have this baby...I am afraid I am going to go off the deep end between the heartburn and swelling. I'm supposed to be laying down with my feet propped up to alleviate the swelling in my feet/legs...but laying down just triggers heartburn worse! SO FUN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/symptoms-going-away-after-birth#post-229288 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:45:13 +0000 Maysprout 229288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a bit upset after I had LO because I'd held her for an hour and didn't think of heartburn that whole time but as soon as they took her away to get cleaned up I realized I still had it. However, I had a meal and a shower then went to my non-delivery room and by the time I went there I didn't have heartburn anymore. So maybe an hour and a half to two hours before the heartburn left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/symptoms-going-away-after-birth#post-229281 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:29:57 +0000 matador84 229281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do symptoms literally just "go away" after giving birth? How long did yours take to disappear? I am so over heartburn and super swollen feet!!! </p>
