I've heard several mommies say their feet "grew" while they were pregnant. Did your's grow while you were pregnant? If so, how much and when did this happen?

For me it was in the third trimester after swelling set in. I needed uber wide shoes that allowed my feet to swell as needed so I wore chiccos most days. Not work appropriate but you get what you get sometimes.

My feet were swollen at the end of my pregnancy (from about 32 weeks on). But by a few months pp I was back to my normal size.

I had to buy new shoes that I could handle teaching in due to swelling, but I'm back to my regular size and can still wear the Danskos I bought!

I was worried about this as well but my shoe size didn't change. I think working out every day minimized potential swelling for me.

I'm up a half size due to swelling, which started getting noticeable around 20 weeks. Luckily, I wear sneakers all day and still fit into those since I always buy them a full size up but most of my 'nice' shoes are too narrow to be comfortable anymore. Wah.

10 went to 11 with the first pregnancy and the second sent it up to 11.5. I feel like I wear clown shoes

I think my feet swelled a lot near the end. I wore Crocs flats for all of my last trimester. I put on my favorite pair postpartum and they were really loose.

My feet never grew, but my calves grew and I didn't fit into any of my knee high boots. Now 7 weeks pp my boots fit again.

My feet were just swollen at the end of my pregnancy - there was only one pair of shoes, well, not even shoes, flip flops that fit.... about a month postpartum my feet were back to normal & all of my shoes still fit!

I'm 29 weeks and went up a half size and into wides. Now my shoes are on the loose side but because of the swelling, I'd take loose over tight anyway. I don't think I really HAD to go up a size but I'm all about comfort and found a clearanced pair of cushy orthopedic whatever whatever shoes that are sooooo comfy. They're not pretty but I don't give a darn lol.

Yes, a lot was from swelling, so i had to buy a size up. but once i had DS and the swelling went away it was more like a half a size. but all my shoes(i hardly had any) didn't fit after he was born, so my SIL got a bunch.

I grew to about a 8.5 from 7.5 in the late 2nd tri. 4 weeks pp I still don't fit into my old shoes but I'm hopeful!

I bought a pair of heels a whole size bigger to get me through the holidays. Just shy of 2 weeks pp and all my old shoes fit! I keep looking down at my feet and admiring the fact that I have ankles again

Don't know if mine have grown or if they're just swollen. But they don't look visibly swollen and I need about a size bigger to be comfy now at 40 weeks. I sure hope they get smaller again or I will have to say bye to lots of pretty shoes! (everything but Uggs and flip flops, really)
