Fluid fluctuations: After delivering a baby, a woman goes through some dramatic fluid shifts. You may have noticed that you sweat more (no fever), urinate more, and are more thirsty. You may have some puffiness in your feet or ankles, but it should be starting to subside soon. (i am trusting that both feet are about the same size. If one is considerably more swollen than the other, see your doctor.) lgromkomd.
