How to get rid of swollen ankles
Average rating:
'Two days after giving birth, my feet were so swollen they looked as though they belonged to someone else! My mum told me to put a pillow under them in bed and to keep them raised when watching TV. Gradually they went back to normal. I'd never heard of swelling happening after the birth.'

i just have birth one week ago and my ankles became really swollen few days ago too! I had none during pregnancy so am very surprised. Maybe i'm not the only one!?
