    Question Odd bodily changes post pregnancy...

    Well I am baffled to find that my feet grew during pregnancy! Not width-ways, but they are actually longer :eek: My shoes now no longer fit, my toes are right at the end of them. I estimate my feet have grown in length by 1/4 to 1/2 size. Am wondering if anyone else has had this happen, or any other weird change...

    IKWYM. I have heard of this strange happening!! My Sis believed that her face changed after, she thought her nose had shrunk!!!LOL not joking though...and I have heard of someones feet getting bigger. Geez that would suck if you had a hundred pairs of shoes.

    my feet grew a whole size after my twins were born, but after a couple of months they settled back down again and are now only about 1/4 size bigger than pre pg. Also my boobs grew to mammoth proportions (18EE) from when I was 10 weeks pg, but as soon as my milk came in, they went back to my 'normal' size (14D).
    The human body is amazing!

    I feel like I put on a foot size in every pregnancy.......I used to have very small feet in my pre-baby days, but since being pg in Darwin my feet swelled and grew and they have stayed that size.......they are not swollen at all, but defiantely bigger..........

    My bum has got smaller though...gotta be happy with that!

    OK, my feet grew one size, my butt grew three, my tummy grew a couple of sizes and my boobs, we they went from a firmish 14DD/14E to a massive 18EE/F and now sag so much I'm going to have to carry them over my shoulders soon! (doesn't help that my girls like to scratch and pull on them!!)

    My feet got bigger when i was pg and they are still big. I can only fit into a few pairs of my old shoes.

    I'm hoping after this baby i can get rid of lots of weight and be able to fit into my old shoes again. At the moment the kids are having fun playing with them.

    I am virtually pre-pg weight, so it really isn't fat or fluid retention! Glad to hear that others' feet have grown. Luckily I'm no Imelda Marcos otherwise I'd be devastated by this bodily change!

    Katkins you crack me up

    Oh and DH won't let me throw out my clothes that no longer fit me, he has this strange notion that I will magically go back to my pre preg weight (mind you It'd have to be pre-"moving in with him and taking on his eating habits" weight. I went from an almost vegetarian diet before I lived with him, to a mostly meat diet as he vomits whenever he eats ANY vegetables.....so he cooks and tho he cooks vege's for me, it's just a totally different diet and I'm not going to lose weight till I go back to eating only veg....and that's not going to happen anytime soon)...

    Yep both my mum and had ended up with a shoe size bigger after pregnancy. Also my boobs are much bigger - I went from a 12A to a 14C and that was without any milk coming in, so I wonder where they will end up after #2!!

    I got the bigger boobs too although thankfully, the Big Feet Fairy missed me this time. I have already been amply blessed in that department.
