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.
How long will this swelling last?
-
Mine took a couple of months to go away completely. I was really, really swollen, so mine took a while.

@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
-
@septemberlove: Haha, I was due March 28th and lived in flip flops because nothing else fit. Even they left giant indentations in my feet.
-
Mine didn't last for that long. Most was gone in a couple days.
-
About 2 weeks? Although I guess I still have a little swelling because my rings don't fit. But at least my feet look pretty normal!
-
i was pretty swollen and 2-3 weeks pp is when i actually noticed knees again!
-
Ten days or so. I looked heavier than when I was 40 weeks pregnant!
-
Luckily my midwife warned me that the swelling would get worse pp before it got better. Lasted about two weeks. I had to buy men's flip flops since mine didn't fit!!
