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."
Anyone else?
-
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.
-
@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.
-
yes! a lot. I wasn't prepared for it at all. no one had told me that I'd swell after giving birth!
-
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
-
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.
-
Yep, both times. My feet were marshmallows.
-
Yes...it took months (felt like years!!) for my swelling to go down after LO popped out.
-
Oh gosh! I didn't know this happened. Does it happen from having an IV? Eek!
-
My feet were huge! I didn't swell at all with pregnancy. I was kinda mad no one told me about the PP swelling.
-
Yes. Horrific swelling during pg and pp!
-
Yep - 18 days pp and my feet still look like they connect directly into my calves.
-
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.

Near the end of pregnancy, I got swollen partly because of the weather. I was swollen after labor from the fluids and antibiotics. It lasted about a week or so.
