Did anyone's feet remain bigger after the baby arrived?

Hi - im 23 weeks pregnant and my feet are swollen - i jumped from an 8 1/2 to a 9 (and I just bought a pair of comfy Aerosoles that were 9 1/2. Its amazing but at the same time frustrating.

I heard that after the pregnancy a woman's foot can grow up to a whole size.

Did your feet go back to normal? Are you now able to wear your regular shoes?

I have so many nice shoes that just don't fit me anymore - they are so tight - I was wondering what your experiences have been and if i'll ever wear my normal shoes again.....

Thanks

My feet grew too, from an 8-8.5 to a 9-9.5 and stayed that way. It gave me an excuse to buy new shoes! It does **** though, especially when you have favorite shoes.

I am back in most of my shoes. Some are tighter than before. I think maybe I have grown a 1/4 of a size if that's possible. It seems some of my old ones can be snug but a half size up is too big.

My shoes are still a bit tight. I am hoping they shrink some more but I am 5 weeks post partum so I doubt they are going to shrink anymore.

Yes a little, its odd but most of my old shoes are too tight but I am still buying the the same and most of those are fitting!

On avg I'd say a 1/2 size.
