Growing feet??

LEMSALEMSA member
in August 2013 Moms
I always heard your feet and hands can grow during pregnancy and stay larger. Well I went for a 2.5 mi walk in my old running shoes and OUCH! My toes are curled up at the ends. I don't think it's swelling...think I outgrew them.

And my wedding rings still don't fit! Can't get them past my knuckles.

I think I'll give it two months before I throw in the towel and get new shoes and rings resized. Anyone else outgrow shoes?

    My feet grew a little with DD, but I only really outgrew half of my shoes. I waited a few months and lots of them fit again. My rings didn't fit until I stopped BFing and finally lost some weight- just in time to get knocked up and swollen again! I'm not getting my rings resized until I'm done having babies and BFing and reached my goal weight.

    Yep. With my first I went from a 10 to an 11.

    Do you know how many cute pairs of shoes you can find in size 11? None. Once you get to that size they all look like drag queen shoes. I see a pair of shoes in a store and they look cute on display so I ask to see them in my size and they look horrified. They go to the back and either can't find them or bring back a box the size of coffin. I pull the shoes out of the box and they look like Frankenstein's shoes. :(

    This is true. I started at an 11. I'm worried I've gone to a 12. To avoid finding out I just keep wearing the same nasty pair of flip flops.

    I can't even tell you when the last time was I wore normal shoes. Crocs at work and flip flops at home. I'm a size 10 too and afraid to see how my shoes fit. Right now my feet are so swollen I can't even wear crocs comfortably.

    Only my left foot grew. About half a size, but enough to be uncomfortable. I've got my fingers crossed for the right foot growing this time, rather than getting even more asymmetrical!

    I hope mine go back after this baby comes. Otherwise I will be doing some serious shoe and boot mourning!

    Oh my! This is almost worse than my Frankenfeet! What a pain. You get to chose between one being too but or too small. My sympathies!

    My engagement ring won't fit and I am praying it will quickly! We get married in November and I don't want to stress about having to get it resized. My finger was a 4 to begin with and had to be customized so I just don't want to deal with it!!

    Last time I had to buy new shoes and get my rings sized. For the rings I waited until I lost all my baby weight, and had stopped BFing for 6 months (LO was 18 months old). I haven't even bothered to try my rings in yet this time.
