Those with swelling during pregnancy and weight loss after!!

leedsforever · Oct 2nd, 2008, 14:12 PM

How long did it take for your legs feet and other limbs and parts to go down! Im still suffering with it!! I did have it quite bad but Im just wondering when I will notice the difference!!

Also weight loss.... I know it must take a little while to get your body working properly etc, but how long did you start to notice a difference with your weight loss??

Thanks

I had really bad swelling just before and after Amanda was born. It finally went away 2 weeks after giving birth. I gained 45 lbs. with her and by week 3 I lost 33, and the rest came off very fast after.

With Jayden, I don't remember having too much swelling. I gained 45 lbs. with him and, tbh, I didn't have a scale but do know that it took a bit longer for the weight to come off. But the third month after he was born, it was mostly gone.

With Chase, I swelled up pretty good after his birth and it finally went down 2 weeks after. I lost about 20 lbs. or so the first two weeks but the last pounds are coming off very slowly. I am hoping that they will continue to come off and if it could be faster, I'd be so happy. LOL

hi hun, had really really bad swelling the first 3-4 days after having Rihanna.... but then it seemed to disappear over night.

In relation to weight loss i gained 2 stone during pregnancy and have lost it all now apart from 2lbs!

I was horribly swollen just before Maya was born & it was all gone by the time I had my 10 day appt with the MW

My weight went down quite quick aswell. I was in size 14-16 maternity & i'm now a 12

I find it very bizarre that you still have water retention at 6 weeks postpartum and shocked that the doctor won't give you anything for it.

I know thats why i brought some myself!! She said she may well have to give me something like that to sort out my bp but nope!!

My confidence is low on the way I look!! Its better for me to take them and get rid of this water!!
Its still bad... i wore MEN socks today and when I took them off I had a big indent where my socks had been!! Its painful... and my knees ...OUCH!!

I totally understand and can't believe you can live with it this long. I had a tough enough time for the weeks that I had it.

ROFL! I wore a pair of my OH's socks a week after Chase was born. At the end of the day I went to take a shower and was shocked to see how much of an indent in my legs they made.

Hope it goes soon!
