How long for swollen hands to go post pregnancy?

[Newmummy0306]

Hi,

I had my 2nd baby 4 weeks ago and for the last 8ish weeks of pregnancy my hands and feet were very swollen, I had to take my rings off my hands were that bad. (Not a problem with my first)

My feet are back to normal but my hands aren’t and I still can’t get my rings on! Will this get better or will I need my rings resizing? I’m desperate to put them back on!

I'm exactly the same! DD is a month old today and still ring-less. My feet are better but still not back to normal. I know feet can grow during pregnancy but I'm praying the fact that my hands are still swollen means my feet as just swollen and not forever huge! Can't bear the thought of all my shoes going in the bin 😩

I’m the same, I had my baby 3 weeks ago and my hands still get sore at night. I still can’t wear my wedding rings either.

I had this with one of mine. I remember I still couldn't get rings over my knuckles by the 6 week GP check but it did go back to normal a couple of weeks later.
