If your feet grew during pregnancy...

[DarcyLongfellow]

I'm sorry :-(

That sounds exactly like what happened to me.

I was always a size 10. After DD1, my feet had grown, but not quite half a size. So, my feet were sort of still measuring a 10, but none of my shoes were comfortable (especially heels). After DD2, my feet grew again. Now I'm definitely a 10.5. But many shoes only come in a 10 or an 11, no 10.5. So I end up buying shoes that are too big sometimes. It definitely sucks.

At least it seems like more stores carry though size 11 now. I feel like most places stopped at size 10 when I was younger.

It took a year

Mine returned to my original size about when I returned to work. So about 3 months pp.

[sjh722]

Mine took awhile - maybe 3-4 months? I was afraid they'd grown a half size but things seemed to settle back to normal.

Mine never did.  The grew a full 1/2 size with each pregnancy, putting me from a 9 to a 10 I had to get rid of/replace every single pair of shoes I had pre-pregnancy. 

[zeewifeandmama]

Not quite. They aren't a full half size bigger...so some shoes still fit, and some don't. The width is where they mostly grew.

[runner09]

Mine did not

Mine grew about 1/2 size. I am able to wear the same sandels but my toes pretty much hit the top of the rest of my shoes. I am not a huge shoe person (I actually hate shopping for shoes) and this still bums me out.

Mine didn't go back. They grew a half-size with DD, and I expect a future pregnancy would do the same thing. My mom's also grew a half-size with each of her pregnancies.

Same here, except that I went from 8.5 to 9.5 over the course of 2 pregnancies.  I am not a tall person, so this is tragic.  I would say if your shoes don't fit after the swelling goes away, it's safe to assume you wear a new size.

Mine returned to normal size very quickly - like by the time I got home from the hospital. It was all swelling!

[thatgirl2478]

Nope.  Had to give away all my PP shoes and buy new ones.  Worse, not only did they get longer, they got wider, so now I can really only fine fugly shoes .

Mine also grew a half size with my first and never got smaller but they didn't grow at all with my second.

[caramia17]

I wear a size 10-11. I was 9.5-10 previously. I can wear most of my pre-pregnancy shoes, but I have a few expensive pairs that are a no go. I have been putting off getting rid of them because I have been futilely hoping to get back into them. Caramini is 2.5.

Size 40 Manolos and Dior anyone?

[curbsideprophet]

I don't remember when my feet went back to normal but they eventually did.

[ssmjlm]

They swelled, but are back to pre-pg at this point. I want to say by 5ish months.

I'm sorry my mom says her feet grew 1/2 size with each pg.

[whattheheck]

Mine grew 1/2 size with each pregnancy - so I went from a 7 to an 8.5 extra wide.

[JayhawkGirl]

My size 11s grew to 12s with DS and stayed there. They stayed at a 12 with DD. I haven't bought many between the two kids in case I had to donate another full shoe wardrobe. I'm really looking forward to Nordstrom Anniversary this year, lol.

[jr009j]

My feet were just about back to their old size when I got pregnant again, so 20 months. I have a friend whose feet shrunk down to her normal size 5 years after her last pregnancy.

[runblondie26]

They went up a half size with my first and stayed that size. Luckily, no growth with my second.

[MadamePresident]

My mom's feet grew during her pregnancies and she now has some foot issues from being pregnant all summer with my sisters and wearing flip flops.

I was super paranoid and wore good supportive shoes and haven't had any food growth or issues.

[dbsk8dance]

No. I wet up .5 in size.
