I just had a baby (4 and a half months) and I had major toxemia -- I retained about 60 lbs of water most of which I got in the last trimester. I have now had the baby but still have retention in my ankles, feet, and a little in my face. How do I get rid of this. I also have a prolactinoma which I take bromocryptine for. Help!

Keep your feet up as much as possible.
Cranberry juice is a natural diuretics. I would try that.
Soaking will also help drain the fluid out.
I take an Herbalife product, cell-u-loss. It helps with my water retention, but mostly my swelling from a broken ankle last year.
If nothing else works, talk to your doctor.

while you're interior the third trimester, your toddler has spectacular possibilities of surviving if born early. in case you think your leaking amniotic fluid, get to a physician asap! ok, I see your edit that its certainly first trimester, thats nevertheless some thing you will desire to point to a physician nevertheless. Bleeding/cramps are the main important concern to video show for yet something you experience isn't correct, see a nurse or a physician because of the fact while it is composed of your toddler, its constantly greater advantageous risk-free than sorry!
