Swollen Feet! Posted: 07-20-06 15:40pm
My feet have got so swollen that I cant
ear any of my shoes or trainers anymore.
I had to resort in wearing my old flip
flops today and ive even gone up a show
size. Has anyone else had this problem
during their pregnancies?

It is the heat. Drink a lot of water (i
know, like you aren't peeing enough
already ;) and put your feet up. The only
'cure' is delivery.
Going up at least one shoe size during
pregnancy is very common. Your body is
producing hormones that relax your
ligments and allow your bones to spead.
They will shrink back to normal
eventually. Although, some women don't
get their previous shape back ever (like
your hips expand, etc).
Water! Water! Water! And feet up. It
will get better when the heat subsides.

I hope so but its not like im always on my
feet its too hot for that. Im usually in
bed or sitting with my feet up, but I
guess busy days like these make them worse
