Increasing Shoe Size

nycmommy13

Hello Ladies,

I was wondering if all non-first-time-mothers can give me some advice. Shoes are the only thing really fun to buy right now, but my size has also increased due to swelling. After pregnancy, will I be going back to my original shoe size or will they pretty much stay the bigger size/only get slightly smaller? I don't know whether to splurge on shoes or buy cheap ones if I'm only going to be wearing them during pregnancy.

Buy cheap ones. I stayed a half size bigger after pregnancy but not all women keep their "bigger feet". Some go back to original size.

During pregnancy, I usually buy cheaper clothes/shoes. I won't need them for long and don't see a need to spend more than I have to.

My feet never went back down and I ended up giving away all of my shoes, and I had a lot of expensive shoes.

Mine stayed almost a full size bigger. I had to give all my shoes away too. It was so sad. 3 year later and I barely have any shoes! I'm afraid they will go up again.
Buy cheap now in case they grow again.

I was a size 7 1/2 before I had my first now I'm 8-8 1/2 and sandals I have to wear 9 because my feet got so wide!
