A member asked:

I had my baby a week and my feet are still severely swollen and itchy. how long does it take for the swelling to go down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Edema: Congratulations on your your new arrival! Lower extremity swelling should improve in a few weeks. Keeping the legs elevated as much as possible and staying well hydrated should help symptoms improve faster. Notify your OB for persistent swelling beyond this.
