My dear friend just had a c-section after an excruciatingly long labour. She is SO bloated and has tons of swelling in her legs- but it is the bloating causing so much pain.

Does anyone have any good remedies for this? It is so hard to see her in all of this pain

When I had mine, the nurses had me walk (ouch) around the ward with a support "cushion" (it was not very cushiony) held against my incision area. This was not a fun process, but it did bring down the bloating.

And, put her feet up when she's sitting or horizontal. That helped quite a bit. I get bloated each and every time. It's not pleasant.

I had this, too, each time. Walking helped, rocking...and then lots of fluids. Start up with the prune juice which really helped me.
