You should def go in and get checked out.  Blood clot was my first thought.

Swelling should go down after giving birth I know it did for me.. When I was pregnant with my first I had pretty bad swelling on justoneleg and they were worried it was a blood clot which can be very dangerous.. Definitely go in and have it checked out..
