Hobbit feet

Anyone else having major swollen feet issues and are too embarrassed to wear shorts or anything that shows your ankles/feet?? My left foot is like a hobbit foot---no signs of a ankle at all, right one is just fine :( I just dont know what I'm going to wear all summer! Dresses are getting a little old.

Re: Hobbit feet

  • I'm stuck with flipflops and jeans in 90 degree weather. It really sucks! My feet have swollen up too far for my shoes. :(

  • Flip flops, barefoot and leggings or dresses... It seems to be working for me. Totally boring- but practical for most days in 80 plus degrees
  • haha yes, it has been 90+ degrees and on saturday i went to a baseball game so did a lot of walking between where we parked to the stadium and then walking around the stadium... when we got home i was like wooooow my feet are hideous right now! and they hurt like hell! my mom gave me these adjustable sandals a while back, before they would be something i only wear to the beach but i have been wearing them every day even to work! i have to go to a conference soon and i am really concerned about footwear... i don't have anything comfortable except for flip flops and this one pair of sandals and don't really want to shell out money just for a pair of shoes for a 3 day conference... ugh!!

    Thank you, i don't feel quite as alone now! I saw some people talking about Sanuk Yoga Sling Sandals and that they were pretty comfy they look to be about $35 which isnt real bad. might try though. But every once in a  while at my job I must go in the warehouse and only closed toes shoes allowed. Not sure what to do, besides try to get out of it! lol 
  • Don't worry... Nobody is checking out your feet. They just want to see your baby bump! Just try to stay cool and comfy, even if it means showing off some killer cankles.
  • Rock those ankles (and lack thereof)! I try to remind myself of the same thing @BabyOIsComing mentioned. Do what is best for you and baby for the heat and comfort. We're all going through some of that yucky, sticky heat in a more uncomfortable state than we'd usually be in summer!

    Eurgh yes! After I've been at work all day my feet are so big! Then I have to sit with them elevated..only for the next day to start from the beginning haha. Only 4 months to go!

  • Pregnancy is one of the few times in our lives where we can just own whatever is going on with our bodies because we have a "cute" bump to offset it... embrace it... enjoy it... own it... 
  • I have terrible swollen ankles but my BP is fine! I have been wearing compression hose that go up my entire leg. It makes the warm days feel even hotter but they work great!!! No swelling for a week now!
  • I second the compression socks! I've been wearing them every other day with capris or a dress they are helping a lot!

    Oh! I will try the socks idea! Thanks everyone!
  • Eugh tell me about it ladies I have serious cancles at the moment :-( I normally live in flat shoes but the are still so uncomfortable!!!
