after birth

Hey ladies, I'm due in 2 weeks and I currently have severe swelling of my feet, ankles, legs, pretty much everything lol. I was just wondering how long after birth all the swelling will reduce and my body will start to feel normal again. I know it would vary for different women but just a rough idea would be great:)

Sadly, it will get worse before it gets better. You will puff up especially in the face when you have the baby and then it will go away. Mine went away probably a week after my daughter was born.
