    Mine actually got worse the day after I had Oscar and it took them 1 week to the day for them to get back to normal.

    I didn't have bad swelling but what I did have vanished within a couple of weeks after giving birth. My fingers swelled up in the last 2 or 3 weeks and I couldn't wear my rings until about 4 days after the birth. My ankels swelled from near the end of second trimester until a couple of weeks after DD's birth.

    Took about 2 weeks after the birth i think. It got worse the day after too.

    I had swollen hands and feet. My feet were so swollen that I had to buy a new pair of shoes to wear to work, and my fingers were so swollen I couldnt wear any of my rings from about 32 weeks on. The swelling started going down within a few days of Claires birth, and seemed to go back to normal by about 2 weeks after her birth.

    Yeah i can't wear my wedding rings since about 28 weeks

    Ok thanks girls..... looks like I can expect any time from birth until up to about 2 weeks?!
    Never mind, i don't have long to go now..... I can do it! lol
    As for those who got swelling worse after the birth, well i don't think i could get it any worse (check out my gallery pic LOL)
    They are just so darn sore!! I might ask DH reeeally nicely if he can massage my feet later.... hehe
