Can any experienced mother's enlighten me?

Question

I'm sure there was a better way to phrase the title,  but it's eluding me right now.   Anyway,  I'm a ftm, and my feet have grown a full shoe size during this pregnancy.  I'm being told by several people that they will go back down to normal size after pregnancy.

Can any of you give me a ballpark idea of how long after birth this will happen?  I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to purchase more big shoes or if I should just wait it out.

Answer

My feet have grown half a shoe size with each pregnancy and never went back down

Answer

Don't buy any new shoes until well after the baby arrives and your feet are no longer swollen! And it's not just the swelling, your ligaments stretch out and some people's arches collapse a little from the weight (and not enough arch support). I went up a whole shoe size with my last pregnancy and had to give all of my pre-preg shoes away! They don't necessarily go back. My mom had 4 kids and went up 2 shoe sizes in the process.

Answer

Took about a month or so to get my feet back down to size after my first. They were so damn swollen. But they will go back down. I went out and picked up a few 5$ pairs of slip ons from walmart to be comfortable since it was just a temporary state.

Answer

When my son turned 2 I finally gave up and gave all of my old shoes away. My feet never went back :(

Answer

I had a size 7. During pregnancy it was probably close to a size 8. Now it depends i either need a 7 1/2 or an 8.

Answer

Walmart has cheap $5-10 shoes! I would just get one of those.

Answer

My feet went from a size 7.5 to a size 10 when I had my daughter 10 years ago. They shrunk down to a size 9 wide-ranging I never made it back to my pre pregnancy shoe size

Answer

My feet swelled to a full size bigger, now I'm at a half size. It took my feet a few months to get back down to that size.

Answer

Mine went up a whole shoe size the first pregnancy and never went down this time they've went up half a shoe size so maybe they will at least go down a little this time

Answer

1st- was a c section and it took a full two weeks for my feet to go down
2-VBAC and literally the next morning all swelling was gone 
3rd- it was the next morning as well also a VBAC ;)
