Wow! I don't want to scare you but this happened to me after my 3rd baby. How is your blood pressure? My midwife told me to do the same thing (drink lots of water and put my feet up) and then my blood pressure shot though the roof. I had post-pardom preeclampsia and it took a month on two different diuretics to get all the swelling to go down. This condition can be very scary so please take care and be careful! (Check your blood pressure often. Mine didn't go up until I was out of the hospital for 5 days).
P.S. Congratulations on your new sweet little one!
