I had alot of swelling during my pregnancy. My DS is 1 week today and my feet are still swollen at night. Is this normal???

It's usually a result of having IV fluids in the hospital. I wouldn't call it "normal" but it's not unusual.

Unfortunatly swelling doesn't go away overnight. It has only been 1 week. You can try to help it go away by making sure you're drinking enough water, raising your feet as much as you can, consuming lemon juice to reduce it and avoiding foods that cause you to retain like salt and onions.
