what shoes am I supposed to wear?
I am dying here! My feet are so swollen and I am at week 30. I tried on wides in the mall but they feel narrow as well. My feet were always a 6.5 and my mom gave me her 8's bc I couldnt take the pain. The only thing that kind of feels okay right now is flip flops.

Re: what shoes am I supposed to wear?
I just bought a pair of really soft italian leather flats but I basically live in my flip flops. Luckily, I can wear them to work.

Re: what shoes am I supposed to wear?
OMG - Paulette - are we the same person OR WHAT!!!!????
I am having the same issues with my feet. I try to put them up as much as possible, but are more swollen than ever this week.
I am wearing flip-flops to work which I think it tacky with nice clothing but it's the only thing I can do. I can't wear flip-flops for long though - so then what?

Re: what shoes am I supposed to wear?
I can't help ya girl - I wear flip flops to work every day, its the only thing that will fit comfortably on my swollen feet. With all the walking I do to/from work there is no way I can get away with anything else -- even sneakers hurt me
(I went up at least one shoe size.. I just hope it goes back down after birth  )

Re: what shoes am I supposed to wear?
When I was PG...my feet were terribly swollen. I went to Nordstrom's and bought a super expensive pair of everyday black shoes in an 8WW (that's double wide  ). After I gave birth...I went and I returned them  Hey...when I bought them, the salesman was the one who told me I can return them

What about a pair of black sneakers. I wore sneakers towards the end of my pregnany but I worked for a small company and I think they knew better than say anything about my shoes.

Someone suggested that before...maybe a pair of keds so it doesnt look so frumpy under my dress pants.

Sometimes I think we are the same person. 
I also went up at least one size and sneakers actually KILL my feet and my ankles. Flip flops are not very supportive, but usually that's all that fits. I have this old beat up pair of shoes from Easy Spirit that are like driving shoes I think they call them. They fit me some days and when they do, I wear them.
My sister bought me a pair of Crocs flip flops and they are soooo comfy! and they have much more support than most other flip flops.

Re: what shoes am I supposed to wear?
Yes! And, I have Flintstone feet to begin with. So they really look funny. DH calls them my "clubs." 
These are the Flips that I got. They are a little more supportive and sooooo comfy! I am going to get a pair of closed shoes from them too.

YESS my feet are totally Flinstone in the flip flops ... I try not to look down at them too much (then again, I can't really see my feet anymore when I just look down these days.. belly is in the way  )
Steph - yes i think we are preggo twins I wish I'd known about the Crocs sooner! But with only like 3 wks to go, I'm not spending another dime on pregnancy stuff!

I don't blame you. I caught myself looking at the Motherhood website before and stopped myself. Not one more dollar is going to go to maternity stuff! I already spent waaaaay more than I anticipated.

I was lucky! Went to florida and my cousin gave me ALL her winter preggo clothes! I bought all my summer ones but with only a few months of winter wear...thank god I dont have to buy anymore!
