So I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and while my feet are still the same size my calves are now bigger. I can't get my boots zipped up past half way. I didn't see this coming at all. Ugh! (or I should say UGG!)
They'll go back to normal right?

@oliviaoblivia: I saw this post this morning on my iphone and had to respond once I got to work! I had a COMPLETE breakdown last Saturday after finding that my boots don't zip past halfway on my calves. I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone! It's not a problem I foresaw either
-
I was up a whole size by the end of my pregnancy, from size 9 to size 10. I'm nearly 6 months pp and most of my shoes finally fit again. My feet are a little bit wider now, though.
-
Oh my gosh I haven't even considered this since it is still way too hot in Texas to break out the boots. My regular workout sneaks are getting snug so I bet I'm going to have trouble with the boots!
-
I'm 20 weeks and my favorite flats were so tight yesterday!
-
@Running Elley: I was late to work today because of my boots-not-fitting crying fit. pathetic.
I expected the shoe size change because my mom started wearing a 7 and after three kids wears an 8.5, But my feet haven't changed at all - just my calves...it's so weird. I'm especially bummed because I have so many cute fall maternity clothes to wear that only really work with boots.
-
@oliviaoblivia: Aw
I seriously spent all day last Saturday in a funk because of it which turned into I'm tired of being pregnant and huge breakdown, etc. So lovely!
-
I almost cried trying on boots the other day! Mine were too tight all over! I just bought a pair of ankle boots that have laces I can loosen for this fall. They are cute but it is still disappointing that all my visions of cute tall boots and tights outfits are not gonna happen.
-
I'm 14 weeks and my favorite pair of riding boots hardly zip past my calves anymore. So I did what any pregnant woman who doesn't want to accept the fact that her calves got bigger does... I bought another pair that has a wider calf opening!! I will definitely need the boots come fall/winter in San Francisco!
-
Oh say it isn't so ladies! It's not cool enough here for boots yet, but I was wearing shorts today and saw my reflection in a store mirror and completely shocked at how BIG my thighs suddenly looked! If that's any indication, I bet my calves have grown too.
-
This is one reason I was glad to be pregnant in the hot hot hot summer. I could buy one pair of flip flops and wear those all through my pregnancy.
-
And this is why I couldn't wear leggings/long tunics and boots during my third tri!
-
This happened to me! Tried my boots on a few days ago and could t get them on! My feet have gotten wider and I used to have super narrow feet! So bummed!! I'm 36 weeks so I am hoping they go back, but we will see
-
It actually crossed my mind to use the rubber band trick on my boots. Then I realized how dumb that would look....and how dumb I was to consider it.
@looch: Are you able to zip up your boots now?
-
@oliviaoblivia: all but one pair, but those were a super tight fit before pregnancy.
-
This just happened to me this morning. My feet have definitely spread. I was hoping to get by with boots and leggings for the 1 months that I have left. Guess I have an excuse to go shopping
-
@oliviaoblivia: this happened with my riding boots over the wknd; but it's because i'm a permanent size 8 now. i got them on, but my feet were tight and sore! UGHHH. just got them last year too!
-
Me too
I about cried when I tried to zip up my favorite black boots, no dice! I pray that I can get my calves back down to normal size, I invested in quite a few pairs of new boots last year and really don't want to replace them all!!!
-
Yes, this happened to me around that time. They definitely went back to normal!
