I knew feet swelling was coming but wow!! Its insane how quickly it starts and how they stay puffy. Goodbye cute shoes!

  • I had them when I got out of bed this morning and they've just gotten worse! :( So sad! It didn't start for me until 35 weeks though.

  • Yeah I don't even feel all that comfortable in flip flops these days.  I hope this is a side effect that goes away quickly after the baby is born.
  • My feet aren't swelling too bad but all I've been wearing is flip flops....with everything.  Sooo glad spring is here
  • I've got other issues. A couple of really long rogue hairs popped up on my feet, so my DH has deemed that I have Frodo feet.
  • Yes! My feet started swelling last week. Plus, I've got ugly blood vessels popping up all over them! I don't know if I want to wear skirts or capris these last 6 weeks. :(

  • I wore size 8 before I got pregnant. Now I can only fit in extra wide, size 10 flip flops. Not size 10 shoes.... size 10 flip flops. No shoes will go over my puffy feet and ankles.

  • I just started getting it really bad. Yesterday I actually sat there and stared at my huge feet for 10 minutes unable to believe how HUGE they are. Today they were actually hurting a lot from all the swelling...it's going to be a long 35 days, that's for sure!
  • Lurking from 0-3, but that is so funny that you say that because at the end of my pregnancy I got pre-eclampsia, so my feet were so swollen and I said they looked like Fred Flintstone feet. Smile

  • Oh yes!  Swollen, painful, veins...YUCK!  I call them troll feet, hubby calls them Fiona feet (Shrek's wife)  Nice huh?!  LOL  I also hear they actually get WORSE once baby is born before they get better.....
