I had a c-section but I never had any leg swelling, perhaps you should ask your doctor.

Leg swelling is common following a delivery, especially if you received intravenous fluid during your labor. Swelling is especially common after cesarean sections, and may become more evident a few days AFTER the delivery, as you become more mobile. The swelling should not be painful or asymmetric (one leg swollen more than the other); notify your doctor if either of these situations occur. Swelling will slowly resolve on its own; propping your legs up on pillows while you recline will reduce the swelling only temporarily.

I really hope you and the baby are doing very well indeed! :)))
