If you've heard me talk recently about my shoes, it's about how my feet have grown about half a size since my last pregnancy. Now I'd heard the old wives tale that your feet can grow while you're pregnant, but after seven kids, I hadn't found this to be true. But man, if that last kid didn't get me!
Now we have proof that pregnancy does alter your foot size, by as much as a whole size. In addition to this, the scholarly article also talks about supporting the foot in general in pregnancy as the best thing for mom and her tired, aching feet.
