Foot pain after pregnancy

Just wondering if I'm the only one who has experienced this! After my first pregnancy I had a horrible burning/nerve type pain in two of my toes when I tried to straighten them out- mentioned it to my GP and she just looked at me funny.. it went away after a few months.
Just had second baby and now the other foot has similar pain in my big toe and heel! A burning/nerve type pain when I move the foot or toe a certain way.
Anyone else?!

Google plantar fasciitis- does that sound like it? I had it after my first pregnancy and it was horrendous!!

If the symptoms do sound similar, freeze a bottle of water and roll it under your foot. Also don’t wear totally flat shoes like ballet flats, make sure you’ve got comfy trainers for a bit. Good luck!
