for the swelling to go down after you give birth? I mean does it take like 2 weeks? 6?

I dont remember, lol. Probably only a couple weeks. After you give birth your body gets rid of excess fluids any way it can. I remember after I had ds the first couple nights I'd wake up and be soaking wet in sweat.

With my first two it only took a week or so. With Madelyn it took almost 6 weeks.

I did this the first two nights too. I felt so disgusting.

It took me about a week. Do you know the ice diaper trick?
