Swelling After CSection

[andy2014]

Hi mga sis who gave birth via CS

I gave birth via CS last Saturday and my feet are swelling. My doctor said it can happen, my older sister experienced the same thing. Anyone who experienced swelling sa paa hanggang binti after CS? Sabi ng OB ko nag tea daw ako kasi nakaka dry ng gatas ang tea sabi ng lactation massage therapist ko.

Anong suggestion nyo to cure this? huhu Ang sakit na nga ng recovery sa CS tapos maga pa paa huhu

same tayo sis last thursday lang ako CS din you mean namamanas din sa paa? ang ginawa ko nag hot compress ako tsaka naglalagay ng unan sa paa pag natutulog o nakahiga basta elevated mawawala din naman yan sa akin medyo lumiit na.

^^ You mean manas ba? I had that after giving birth, CS din, from my legs to feet as in sobrang manas. I got scared nga kasi ang laki talaga. Lol. Elevated my feet lang. Thankfully after a week it went away on its own.

Happened to me too. I didnt do anything since OB advised that it could happen so dont be alarmed. Went away after about 4days.

Per OB this may happen nga but mine wasn't really swollen as much as it was in my last mos.

My problem though is that my left heel is slightly numb. i can still feel pero may numbness. This is due daw to being swollen pero 1 month na and the numbness hasn't went away. Has anyone experienced this too? It happened around 7 days after I gave birth.

this happened to me nun 2010.. parang nagkaron ako ng elephant lower legs.. sabi ni ob that means daw na im always standing up at namanas ako. i remember her advise to stay in bed for 1 wk, drink lots of water and stay away from salty food. she also made me monitor my bp.. tumaas bp ko a week after giving birth via CS din. at kung observe ko daw na umaakyat ang pamamaga i need to go the ER asap.

un matatanda naman asked me to take monggo soup with malunggay.. =) after 1 week of bedrest nawala naman un pamamaga at hinde naman tumaas bp ko. unless napagod ako..

I remember my OB discussed this thing during my last check up when I showed her my swollen feet and hands.  Sabi niya, ang mga iba nagmamanas after they give birth.

It could be due to all the IV fluids that was pumped into you during your stay in the hospital. That's what happened to me.

same experience. umabot manas ko hanggang hita huhubels. asked ob what to do, sabi niya it will just really subside on its own. mga 3rd week PP nagstart na mawala then by 2nd month super okay na, balik dati na paa ko.

I had that, i gave birth Dec 2014. Manas sa feet and hands.
Sabi naman ng OB ko, i still have the pregnancy hormones daw. Since CS daw ako, normal lang daw yun at mawawala din eventually kapag na-detect na ng body na wala na ang baby sa katawan ko. It subsided after 3 weeks ata.

I experienced this, too. When I was pregnant, di naman ako gaano manas. Pero after ako ma-CS grabe yun pagmanas ng feet and legs ko. It was such a nuisance kasi when I need to go to the hospital to visit -my baby na naiwan sa NICU, wala ako masuot na footwear talaga  na pang-alis. Naka slippers talaga ako pumupunta sa hospital kasi yun lang ang kasya.

It went away din on it's own around 10 days post partum.
 
Yun lang, 3 weeks post partum, yun wedding ring ko di pa rin kasya sa fingers ko.
