woah! that is so crazy. Thanks so much for sharing, I probably would have written off the swelling since I've had so much of it during pregnancy.

I'm glad you're okay. That's pretty scary. I know it hard with kids to take care of, but I hope you're able to get some rest and continue feeling better.

Wow! 31 pounds? I felt like I peed a ton after delivery, but nothing like that!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Hopefully no one else experiences this, but it's good to have the knowledge.

I'm so glad they let the baby stay with you. And that you are doing well.

Thank God you are Ok. MY friend had this same problem. No one listened to her until she was on her death bed, rushed to the er by ambulance, where she was for two weeks, and lost 75 pds of fluid in one evening. thanks for the warning for other mothers!

Wow 75#!!! I can't even begin to imagine how bad she felt. I know with my 31+ pounds of water I felt like death warmed over.

I am doing MUCH MUCH better. Have lost some more water weight and my feet are almost completely back to normal - boney and veiny!!
