What can i do about swollen feet and ankles after almost a week after birth

Elevate legs: You should have your blood pressure checked. If it is ok, then cut down on salty foods and elevate your legs whenever possible. If this doesn't help, you may want to try support hose.

Below knee stockings: If you have calf pain you have to make sure you don't have a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by getting an venous ultrasound. Otherwise, swelling is very common and below knee compression stockings (15-30 mmhg pressure) will do the trick. Leg elevation also helps in the evenings. It is also common to develop varicose veins during pregnancy and swelling can be associated with these.
