Question

Answer 1

Thats a long time frame between having your baby and getting swelling. Its normal to swell in the first week or so after a baby then it should go away. Its best you make an appointment to see your doctor and in the meantime try and rest as much as possible and cut back on salt in your diet.

Answer 2

PLZ. TEST UR HB.

Answer 3

fluid accumulation...drink lots of barley water

Answer 4

I would consult w/ your doctor.  That is a long time to still be swollen.  My feet were so huge and fat after I had my daughter I had to wear slippers home!  But they went down in a couple of days.

Answer 5

happens... its mostly due to the ivy fluids ... mine were swollen too... looked like elephants feet. I used to cry when I saw them. Thing is I didnt have any swelling when I was pregnant.. and except for my big tummy... I didnt really gain much weight either when I was pregnant.. so I really freaked when I saw how my ankles and feet looked post delivery. But it went away a week or 2 later.   Now u say u had it for a couple of weeks. If it lasts more than a month, then I wud go to the docs. In fact go ahead and call your doc .. and ask on the phone.
