I don't know, but I do know that I had some swelling after giving birth this last time.

I think i'd eat some extra salt, and drink lots of water, but I'm not a doctor so take that for what it's worth. It seems that if your low on salt you can end up swollen, though (I was having problems with it from adrenal fatigue and started eating extra salt and dropped 8 lbs literally overnight, so strange things can happen).

Anyway, hope you're feeling better soon!

Are you sure it is not pp-Pre-E? That happens a lot more than is reported.

This is what I'm wondering, too. How is your blood pressure, and how are you feeling otherwise? I would get this checked out.
