C-section Swelling

For those of you who have had a csection before, did you swell at all? I just had one a week and a half ago and I am swollen from the belly button down. My feet are huge and feel like they are stuffed full of gel. I got swollen feet while pregnant, but never this bad.

Yeah. My feet and legs were pretty swollen. Like the pp said, keeping your feet elevated really did help. I  slept with 2 pillows under my feet and that really seemed to help. It took a few weeks for all the swelling to go away. Hope yours subsides soon. I know it gets uncomfortable and annoying.

My feet swelled up but not my stomach. They pump a lot of fluid in you with a section. Drink plenty and keep your feet up.
