My mom's grew half a size with each of her three kids. She went from a 6 1/2 to an 8. Mine grew a little less than half a size. I can still wear some 6 1/2s but in certain styles I need to go up to a 7. I think it has to do with the weight we carry while pregnant- it flattens the arches of our feet making them "bigger".
My feet started swelling in July, I had the baby late October, and my feet didn't go down until about December. I was an 8, now they seem to have settled at an 8 1/2. It took a little while to get down to that point though. Now I am thinking ahead to more babies, and if at all possible, I do not want to have that happen again!
I had no problem fitting into 9's before I had Ian. After, I have to have a 9 1/2. There are some shoes I can't even wear anymore because they are so tight.
I still wear the same size, but they definitely got wider. I can wear all my shoes from pre-pregnancy, but they always feel tight in the width. I had to order wides for a wedding I was in last year. I could have worn the regular, but I'm so glad I ordered wide because they were actually comfy. I've tried on wide widths in normal shoes (at Payless) and they are too wide... so I'm kinda in-between.
Yeah - my feet have totally widened too. Since the summer of 08 I have worn flip flops or Ugg-type boots ...maybe "real" shoes 20 times, haha! The rest of the time I am in bare feet. In sneakers I am still a 7.5 - but in everything else I could be a 9. It just depends.
