Has anyone experienced this PP?
I’m 3 days pp and I had my second c section. I am experiencing things that never happened after my first c section and was wondering what’s going on and if it’s normal. My feet have swollen SO MUCH for starters, it’s giving me anxiety and they feel tight and tingly. And I’ve been experiencing this pain in my chest area or right underneath my chest and I don’t know what it is, I’m thinking maybe gas bubbles that are getting trapped? I’m not sure but it’s very painful and happens randomly. If anyone else knows what this is or has experienced this please lmk

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.

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!
