Alice Ben · Answer

Yes@ Maryam we had the same issue I was told it will go down it would go down but for whr, mine even lasted more than 3weks, my legs was always on a pillow each time I sleep , I do walking around, always massaging it wit hot water each time I had my bath but all these dint work for me until I went to hospital and I was given some injections to pee it out. Body differs my dear. If this week runs out and it doesn't go down please go to the hospital.

I had swollen legs when I delivered my baby too. When you want to sleep put one pillow under your legs to rise your legs above your body. It will go with time. Rising your feet will work very fast. Thanks...

I also had swollen feet even much more swollen that yours till his 11th day. Just get water in a big bowl, add little coconut oil and soak ur legs for sometime. It's called Aromatherapy......don't worry babies sleep more... They will adjust soon

Akan Uwem · Answer

Nkem, d swollen legs will go off with time. When you sit, rest your leg on a high surface like pillow and drink enough water cosbas you ease yourself, you reduce your water content hence d swollen leg. As for your baby, she's still trying to adjust to the new pattern of feeding so give her sometimes and she'll suck freely.

Mom Diamond · Answer

Don't worry it will go down. I didn't have swollen feet through all of my pregnancy but when I delivered they became swollen, just use cloth with hot water to massage them when bathing in the morning then make sure you join the legs together when massaging them as for your baby that sleeps leave her alone she will signal you wen she needs to suck

Kenny Phebian · Answer

Relax, d swollen will soon go but you have to give it sometime. You just put to bed so it can't just go suddenly after birth. Try to be sleeping on d left side and also take a walk regularly. It helps in reducing swollen legs.
