Shoe size -- q for second time moms

MellsBells · October 2009

Did your shoe size change much during pregnancy? How common is that?

I really NEED (yes, NEED!) some new boots, but don't want to grow out of them in two months.

My feet did not change or swell at all with either PG.

Mine did slightly. Before I was pg with DS I was a size 10. Once I got further long with him I had to switch up to 10 1/2 - 11. Once I had him, I never went back to 10's, but def. need a 10 1/2 now.

My feet were very swollen! I attribute most of that to the summer heat and the fact that I was on my feet all day teaching kindergarten. The most I did was buy one pair of tennis shoes in a wide width. DS was born in early September though, so most of the time I wore flip flops.

My feet swelled so bad that I had to go buy cheap flip flops towards the end b/c it's the only thing that would fit. DS was born in the middle of the summer though and I had really high BP and pre-e, so that was the main reason for the bad swelling.

About a week after I had DS, my feet went right back to normal! So I'd say, get the boots! It's cold in the winter anyway, so I doubt you're feet would swell all that much (plus it'd still be mid to late 2nd tri.) I think you'll be fine.

Before DD I was a 6 1/2 or 7. Now, although I can wear a 6 1/2, they are tight.

I was able to wear all of my 7's until about 2 weeks before delivery. As unfashionable as it was, I resorted to flip flops for those last 2 weeks.

My feet were never swollen but they did get bigger - many of my shoes no longer fit "right."

Mine didn't swell or change at all during my first pregnancy. I think I got lucky!

Mine didn't swell during pregnancy, but after I have gone from a 71/2 to an 8. I always though that was a myth, but apparently not.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. So, it seems pretty common, then. Maybe I'll just get some cheap boots instead of the ones I'm lusting after. Payless it is!

I went up a half size and stayed there

Mine didn't at all with #1. Although I know some people have this problem. Its quite common. And if you get really bad swelling in your feet when you get further along, then you will have that problem.

My feet we so swollen with the first one, that they ended up a whole size bigger. After my daughter was born they stayed a 1/2 size bigger.

Wow! You needed a whole new shoe wardrobe!
