4.5 weeks after DD2's birth I still can't get any of my shoes or rings on. This never happened with DD1. Don't tell me I'm going to be stuck with monster hands and feet forever!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but my dd is 4.5 years old, and I still can't get any of my rings or my old shoes on ...

My feet have never returned to normal size, either

About a month and a half.
God, I didn't realise that for some people it took so long.
I couldn't wear any rings and nothing but flip flops for the last 2 months - and that was cold feet in Dec & Jan !!!
But returned to normal, quite quickly.

My feet went down instantly, but my hands took about 2 months to go down, but my wedding ring is still stuck fast, I can turn it but cant remove it!
I must remember though that I went from a size 8 to a size 16!

Hmmm, so at what stage do I give up and buy big shoes??!

My feet are now half to one size larger than pre-pregnancy. Not sure if my feet just got bigger, or if the extra weight I'm carrying now has something to do with it...or a combination of the two.

I have a big selection of lovely "non mummy" shoes in my wardrobe that I can no longer wear, but which I am loathe to part with.

Mine took about 6 weeks to get back to normal BUT as I have about 1 stone to loose my wedding rings don't fit me as well as they used to. Little bit tight!! As far as I;m aware my feet are still back to a size 4...

Cant get my rings over my knuckles at all - still have 4kg to go till pre pg weight but cant believe this is the reason. Have my bones grown?!

My feet were so swolen you could not make out if i still had toes! My hands an face just balooned. It took a few weeks for it to go down and got back to normal. But just wish my tummy had gone back to normal i lost that a while ago sob sob lol Nah at least i can hide that. (got train tracks for stretch marks very nice)
