i was on iv fluids for 4 days so im guessing it will take longer for the swelling to go down

I had 16 bags of fluid during labor. Yes, it was a long labor. My feel swelled up once I got home, and where gone within a week. It felt so weird I felt the water swishing in my feet.

It happened to me. I broke a pair of Uggs trying to fit my elephant feet in them. The nurses said it was common. It went away within a week. Congrats!!

Re: Super swollen feet after giving birth???

Re: Super swollen feet after giving birth???

this happened to me last time! I had zero swelling during pregnancy and then after I got home from the hospital I was sooo swollen. Doc said it was normal, fluid retention (I had a C )

Re: Super swollen feet after giving birth???

My feet were so horribly swollen after I had DS - my toes were flared out because they were so puffy. It looked like my feet were going to explode! And so painful! I was convinced something was very seriously wrong, I had never seen anything like that or heard about it from any of my mommy friends.

My OB said it was perfectly normal and that it would go away. I had to go home in SLIPPERS because my feet wouldn't fit into any shoes. It took over 2 weeks for the swelling to go down and much longer for them to go back to normal.
