Good day, i recently gave birth on the 20th of february 2019 and my baby is healthy and fine. i am experiencing swelling in my legs currently so i would like to know what might be the cause for swelling?

Common: for swelling to come and go over the first three weeks after delivery. If pain in legs, may need an ultrasound for possible blood clots in the leg blood vessels.
