Its most likely just fluid retention from when you were pregnant. Mine swelled up too big time with my 2nd, and went down in about 5 days. Just try to stay off ur feet and soak on epsom salt. Drink lots of water too to keep everything cleansed out and moving quickly.

With my 2 kids after having them about 1 week and half the swollen was gone, it's normal if they still feel swollen it will go, good thing is to keep ur feet n legs up, good luck ☺
