Did your feet get bigger after pregnancy?

[Plateofcrumbs]

I've now heard a few people saying their feet permanently increased in size during/after pregnancy?

Am worried as I already have size 8 feet, if they get any bigger I'm screwed for ever wearing nice shoes again.

Please tell me giant feet aren't inevitable!

Sadly mine did. I was a size 8 before and sometimes struggle now. They are definitely wider and some shoes I loved before are no longer comfortable. It's not a big difference, but I do notice it with some styles.

Sorry!

Mine have by about half a size. The shoes I already have are fine but I find I'm having to buy bigger new ones. It's not inevitable though - it hasn't happened to anyone else I know.

Yes happened to me. A whole size bigger. I had to get rid of all my pre pregnancy shoes, 'twas a nightmare!!

Nooooo! I already have problems with width due to bunions (my feet are really not my best asset). Can I just chop my toes off?

This happened to me too! I went up about a half size and never went back down again. I am slightly worried it will happen this time too!

Mine got wider and bigger in pregnancy, but afterwards they shrank back to a size 5. I'm pregnant again and they've only got wider - but I'm still a size 5.

Size 8 before, size 8 now! No noticeable change to my feet. My waistline, on the other hand, is a whole other story....

Yup - my mum went up a size when she was pregnant with me. Didn't gain anymore sizes with my two siblings, so I don't think it's incremental with each pregnancy... If that counts as a bright side...?

Mine widened - which means for some shoes I go up a size (and put thingies in the heels) just to give my toes a bit more clearance.

Mine got wider too which makes them look even shorter, size 3.

People make fun of my tiny toes.

Romily - I didn't notice any further changes with DD2, if that helps at all. I think it's a one off due to the relaxing of the cartilige. Or something technical like that.

About half a size. Makes a difference in some of my shoes. Not sure if it happened after my first or my second. It might just be that my threshold for discomfort was lowered. My feet never really swelled.

I'm a size 8 too and had to wear a 9 in later pregnancy with DS. They went back to an 8 afterwards. They didn't get any bigger 2nd time around.

Nope still a size 5

Was a 4 before DS1, then a 3.5 wide fitting after he was born, now a 4.5 wide after DS2.

Moral is continue having babies until your feet are a reasonable size

Yes! I went up from a 6 to a 7

I am still a 5 but need a wide fitting when I used to need a narrow.

I was a size 9 before DS1 and am now about 9.5 which makes it virtually impossible to get shoes. I'm now pregnant with DC2 and if it happens again I don't know what I will do.

Yes. I went from 7 to 8. I am still a size 8 five years later.

Yep - went from a 6 to a 7 and then a 7 to a 7.5 but wear 8s for comfort

Yes. Originally a size 8 with skinny feet. My feet are definitely wider and I wear a 9 as 8's are a tight fit for comfort.

I hate shoe shopping. Always have done. I discreetly ask for size 8's and hide my feet when trying on shoes as I know 9 times out of 10 they will not fit.

I have 'big feet' complex!

JBCK be thankful for tiny toes. Mine are long like fingers!

no 2 children and have always been a 7.
