Is this Swell Hell??
I am 2 weeks out today from my TT. I know that I have fluid that hopefully can be aspirated next Tuesday, but OH MY, my belly is swollen tonight.
I felt like I had a bit of a stomach ache and loosened my binder a bit. It didn't really seem to help so when I changed into my jammies, I took off the binder to take a look.....my pregnancy seems to have advanced 2 months since this morning!!
I did have a full day of running around.... would that have helped cause it?

Hi Martha,
After my TT when I got puffy at night from doing too much I would wrap an icepack in a kitchen towel and put it under my binder. It would take the swelling down really fast. You might want to give it a try (unless your surgeon specifically told you not to use ice).
Hope you get some relief and get some extra rest tomorrow!

I hope it helps!!!
If you can lay down with it on your belly and elevate your feet.....always helped me.
Hope my surgery sister gets relief.

So glad it helped!!
Try some arnica montana too if you have it......... 3x a day .......I believe it helps to control the swelling on a daily basis.
