yup it's normal. water retention. rmb cesarean is a major surgery that cuts through 7 layers of our body so give urself time to heal. swelling will go away eventually. take care!

Did you had water retention before this? When resting, put pillow below your feet, use compression socks or normal sock on your feet. Do not use AC or fan directly.
