Varicose veins: You might have developed varicose veins during your pregnancy leading to the leg but not hand swelling after pregnancy. Check with your doctor to see if anything can be done about this. If you had gained too much weight during your pregnancy, it is time to try losing the extra baggage. If both hands and legs are swollen, then you should also check with your doctor and cut down salt intake.

Various causes: About 6 weeks after delivery the effects of pregnancy are gone. Persistent edema would need evaluation by a primary care doctor. Causes such as thyroid disease, heart failure, kidney disease, obesity, circulation disorders and rheumatologic disorders should be considered.
