Shoe Question for Moms
My brother and FSIL are getting married 4-4.5 months after the baby comes and we're in the wedding. FSIL decided she wanted us all to wear the same shoes:
I want to get them soon because I don't want them to get discontinued, but I'm worried that they may not fit the same on the big day. How quickly does swelling in your feet go away postpartum? Did any of you end up having to go up a shoe size permanently after being pregnant?

Re: Shoe Question for Moms
I think I own these. Too bad my foot is probably way bigger then yours! (I wear a 9).
As for foot size after pregnancy, I never had a problem with wearing my shoes or sandles. I don't think my size changed at all. I only had swelling on really warm days and days near the end when I was on my feet a lot.
obv, I'm not here yet, but this is one of those "it's different for everyone" things I think! My feet are HUGE right now...I can only fit into sneakers and crocs! haha.
maybe ask your mom what happened when she was pregnant? It could be a good indicator of what will happen to you.
also, worst case scenario they don't fit and you wear something else. Isn't the dress long anyway? SIL will just have to understand...in my opinion :-)
C's feet were swelling out of her Keens from around 28 w onward. It was gross, seriously.
But within 2 days of delivery it all went away, even w/ the c section.
Yay, I love that you now need to ask questions like this.
My feet got swollen the last couple of weeks, but went back to normal pretty quickly after delivery.

wait, did I miss something here?!?!
Did I read that right????
I was so swollen for months but my feet went back to normal pretty much right away. My fingers on the other hand didn't. I could wear my rings until after Brynn was a year old.
My mom gained 1/2 size after each of her 3 kids. .... her feet went back to her old size about 5 years ago when my sister was 20. So weird!
This is my reaction!
Look at Holly's "Opinion" post!

Yes they are long, and even if FSIL said it was okay, I know behind closed doors she'd be fuming. She's young and everything has be perfect.
Of course if for some reason I couldn't actually fit into them I wouldn't tell her.
See my post from this morning entitled, "Opinions: Gift for Parents' 30th Anniversary".
Whoo hoo! Sorry I did not scroll down long enough to see that post.
CONGRATS!!!! So happy for you!! What a great idea too!
Congrats to you!!
My feet didn't swell until the last week, but that was because of the ham from Easter dinner and I was on them all day working.
My feet also did not grow at all, thank God....if anything I wish they would have shrunk!
My feet didn't really swell until 3 days PP... they were a little swollen but nothing crazy the day I was induced but nothing like day 3. I don't think my feet grew during pregnancy.
In regards to Claire's statement about asking your mom-- my mom's feet grew about 1/2 a size each pregnancy. I really prayed mine wouldn't since I'm already a 10 1/2 to 11.
