Wasn't really sure where to post this one, so I have put it in a couple of areas to try and attract the right opinons.
I had quite badly swollen ankles towards the end of my pregnancy, which actually got worse after birth. At the 10 day midwife visit (about their peak) my midwife wasn't interested (wasn't surprised by this she hasn't been interested by anything at all) HV was mortified by them on day 11, when I couldn't even get my trainers on. They started to get better when I started to get out & about & walk more, but they are still very swollen at 8 weeks (almost had to resort to buying mens sandals today). Had my "6 week" check a couple of days ago & GP is requesting blood tests for kidney function, although he doesn't think this is too likely. I am a touch(!?!) overweight at the moment which I know doesn't help but I was wondering if anyone else had persistent swollen ankles & when they may have resolved hemself?
