Reduce Edema and Leg Swelling

Hi mamas, I was wanting some advice on how to reduce the swelling in my legs after having a c section. I was told that it was because of the extra IV fluids and medications that the swelling is normal. However, I am just ready for it to go down faster. It’s been about 4 days and my swelling has gone down a little bit, but was wondering if any of you could pass down some of your own remedies for this. #swelling #csection

I just turned 35 weeks and my feet is swollen. I've been soaking my feet in cold water but it seems to not reduce swelling. Any suggestions?

What have you guys done to reduce swelling? My doctors say it’s normal but I don’t think so

This is my first post on here I'm 37 weeks and a few days I've been having edema swelling in my stomach and my feet and ankles and in my boobs and pain with ever step I take when I walk I do have a history of preclampsa from my first pregnancy about 14 years ago I have told my doctors my concerns but one of them just played an air violin instead of really listening and trying to help me with my fears and I travel a good way every week now to these doctors for my care and I don't even feel heard and I don't want to change doctors this late with my c section already scheduled anybody else have edema swelling and rest and nothing helps it cause ur pelvic area hurts no matter what u do and the feet and ankles swelling is so bad it hurts to prop them up on stuff just wondering if I'm the only one having this problem

We are in week 31 and still feeling great. Spent a week in Jamaica for a lil baby-moon and to do some work for a documentary. The fruit (and food in general) is always so much better when I’m here! 😩 During this trip I experienced the most ankle and feet swelling for the first 2/3 days, but it all went back to normal and has pretty much stayed that way. The compression socks helped during travel AND I’ve noticed drinking lots of water, getting some electrolytes (Jamaican coconut water), moving my body, and resting my legs up have been the most help. What have you noticed with your edema/leg, ankle, feet swelling and how are you treating it? I also believe I had the worst Braxton-Hicks contractions so far. This time they weren’t low nor did they feel like light period cramps. These were up high and felt like highly uncomfortable gas passing through. Anyone else experiencing any BH? If so, what’s it felt like for you? #31Weeks #babymoon #edema #braxtonhicks #julybaby

Alright momma's I need some help. I am 33 weeks pregnant I have some really bad swelling in my right leg, ankle and foot. Sometimes it goes numb. What can I do to help reduce the swelling. I have never swelled this much. I can't stand for long periods of time or my calf will throb with pain. When I press my finger into my leg you can see a indent where my finger was.

Help! I have serious swelling in my calves as well as severe cramping. I have followed a low sodium diet, walk 30 minutes a day, and use compression socks. Any tips on how to reduce the swelling and pain?
