I've always been in between 7.5/8, they grew to a full 8 during pregnancy and post partum. I just noticed today that some of my sz 8 heels are a bit loose! I wonder how they'll change during this pregnancy/post partum.

Sorta - I was always a 6.5 but after having kids I have a few pairs of 7's but still fit in 6.5 too - so not sure whats going on!

Mine went completely back to normal, although my hands seem to have permanently changed - 14 months pp and all the weight gone, but my wedding ring still feels tight!

I was a solid 8 but postpartum I could fit into a few 7.5, but still mainly fit 8's.

Yes, due to swelling they went up a size or so for the last trimester, but went back to my pp size pretty quickly after delivery.

I only went to 33 weeks, but never noticed a change in my feet. Like @Bubbles though, my hands did change. In my case, they swell much faster now when I'm hot, so my rings frequently feel tight.

Yes! I went from a 6.5-7 (more 7) down to a firm 6.5! It's the weirdest thing...

They swelled a lot during the final weeks pre/post pregnancy, but are back to normal now.
Changing foot sizes was actually one of my biggest irrational fears during pregnancy. I'm, apparently, attached to my shoe size.

Not really, I think they were swollen more than anything but I still fit into my regular shoes now.

My feet swelled at the end of pregnancy, but went down quickly. Now my feet are actually smaller than they were pre-preg. My rings are probably 1.5-2 sizes too big too. I'm not really sure how that happened.

Yes, before kids I was a 6.5 or 7. Now after two kids I'm more like an 8. Sooooooo many pairs of shoes that no longer fit.
My fingers grew too.

OMG. I just bought a new pair of (really expensive) running shoes a couple of weeks ago, and shortly thereafter started reading about shoe size increase in pregnancy! My mom says she went up a size (permanent increase) with each child!!
I already wear a 9.5 or 10 in sandals/pumps, and an 11 or 11.5 in running/athletic shoes So if my feet go up I am so screwed. I already have water ski feet.

I went up half a size. Pre-pregnancy, my foot was exactly the size of an 8.5 shoe, meaning I nearly always wore a size 9. Now, my feet are exactly the size of a size 9 shoe and I fluctuate between a 9 and a 9.5 depending on the shoe. I've only had to ditch a couple of pairs of shoes though, everything else I can squeeze into if necessary, although some are more comfortable than others!

Yep. I was a 9.5 before, now definitely a 10. My feet also got wider. Many of my prepregnancy shoes don't fit

They went back to the same size once I debloated from birth.

Nope. I've been the same size before, during and after two pregnancies. I never had much of an arch to fall though.

Mine went from 11/11.5 to a solid 12 which blows. My shoe options are severely limited now.

Mine did not. My feet were a little swollen towards the end of pregnancy, but they quickly went back to normal. So far I'm 32 weeks with my second and haven't seen any change yet.

not really, I retained water at the end (and starting too now) so I had to keep one size of bigger flats to wear. They went back to my 7.5 afterwards last time though. I buy some 8s anyway and just put insoles in.
