A member asked:

I am concerned about my swollen legs, i was induced, had a 24 hour labor and had a c section, my legs are very swollen and it concerns me, please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling common: Swelling in the legs is common after a cesarean section. It usually is gone by about a week after delivery. Sit with your feet up and avoid salt. However it might be a sign of toxemia - blood pressure problems of pregnancy - or of blood clots in the legs. Call your doctor for elevated blood pressure, headaches or one leg is swollen and painful.
