Abbey! Thank you for posting this because I, too, have grown a size since pregnancy! Same… went from an 8 to an 8.5. I am hoping I go back down soon, since it’s only been two weeks, but a good friend of mine had the same issue and never shrunk back to her normal size. I will be heartbroken if my collection goes to waste!

My shoe size didn’t change for my first child, but for my second. What a pain! Although it is a great excuse to buy new!

Don’t panic too much…..sometimes your feet do get smaller. I went up at least a full size. I didn’t have a huge shoe wardrobe before pregnancy but had to buy a larger pair of dressy flats in my 7-8 month as I couldn’t get anything on. They fit well and were…..well, hideous. Once baby had arrived I hit the shoe dept at Nordstrom and a very wise older salesman told me – get out of those sneakers or you will never wear a pair of Ferragamo’s. I never actually ever wanted to wear them, but the point wasn’t lost. Within the first year or two the late pregnancy shoes were like boats on me, and believe it or not sometime around the 5 year (!!) I dropped the additional size I had gained.
A word of caution about shoe buying with little ones. Remember once they start toddling you will need to avoid stepping on little fingers – so I would stick with safer styles and secure bottoms. Crushing little bits because you are tottering and unsteady is heart wrenching.

this same thing just happened to my bff…as i move closer to getting pregnant, the mere thought of it strikes terror in my heart! (although the idea of NEEDING to buy new shoes doesn’t sound so bad! )

Are those flats comfortable? I have similar ones from Tory Burch. They aren’t comfortable and really don’t stay on my feet…I’d love to find a pair that don’t break the bank and meet the comfort requirement! Ugh – my feet weren’t the same after having my second child.

They are cute! Oh, what a shame you don’t fit into your old shoes anymore. Is there any change your feet will change back a bit?

*Runs to her closet to try on every pair of shoes* What happened to my feet after three? *shudder*
