Swelling in hands, when does it go down?

Hi ladies.
I had my DS 9 days a go and slowly but surely everything is going down. Hands, feet, belly etc.
I was never massively swollen but I haven't been able to wear my wedding bands for a couple of months and 9'days after birth I still can't.
My question is, when does the swelling go away altogether? I'm desperate to put my wedding bands back on and I can't at the moment and it's making me sad 😢😢

Drink more. Sounds weird but works.

I remember my friend asking me the same thing, was around six months before her wedding ring fit comfortably again. For me it was just a couple of weeks

@annlee3817 as long as I can get them back on eventually! I'm just impatient and just pleased the swelling is slowly going away! 🤪
