If you’re not still in hospital, I would go in and get checked out. It may be nothing to worry about, but better safe than sorry. As per the above comment, you just need to make sure it’s not a clot because that can be dangerous. Fingers crossed they’ll check you over and give you the all clear 🤞
Had my 3rd C-section 3 months ago. Swollen feet is very normal especially if it was planned. It’s from the fluids they give you intravenously. Took about a week to go down. I had a lot of chest pain ( thought it was heart related ) they assured me it was just gas. My nurse made me a peppermint tea to help.
Sounds like you have gas buildup. Was your baby breeched? My OB told me breech babies usually end up giving moms more gas because the doctors have to push harder and more to move them down. My daughter wasnt and I had hardly any gas but my son was and the gas pains hurt worse then the actual surgery area
Definitely get yourself checked out in case of anything more sinister, but my feet were quite swollen and I had a lot of abdo pain which turned out to be gas. Not sure if this is similar to your chest pain. Peppermint tea helped a LOT with the gas!
My feet swelled loads too! I also came out in loads of rash/hive like spots all over my swollen feet & legs 😭 I brought it up to my midwife. The chest pain, yes I see what you're thinking, try peppermint tea, but I would recommend calling labour ward, that was where they said to call if worried. Worth being checked out probably
Are you still in the hospital? Swelling is common, can you ask for some compression stockings (if they haven’t given you some already?) I had gas pains in my shoulder and side, it felt like an awful stabbing pain that would come and go. As yours is in the chest and your legs are swollen, I’d probably mention it to the nurse so they can rule out a clot. They should be able to give you something to help the swelling too!
