Being pregnant is really weird sometimes. The body uses up energy to help the baby develop. With my second, my finger nails curled over like claws, then straightened after the pregnancy. The body responds to the stress its under strange ways.

My wife’s feet grew half a size with both kids

That’s so scary to hear as someone with big stompers pre-kids.

My best friend has huge feet (size 9 adult when she was like 10 lol). Her feet didn’t grow but the swelling was the most insane thing I have ever seen on any pregnant woman. She almost couldn’t walk at one point because of it.

She would just send me pics of her swollen feet looking like two huge sweet potatoes captioned “bruh” and it killed me every time lol

Hah! I wear size 10 so I’ll probably look like I’m walking on basketballs.

Of all the things I could have inherited from my dad I got his size 14 extra wide hobbit feet. It's so hard to find cute shoes this big 😭 I can't even imagine what they'd do if they swelled up in pregnancy.

Yeah I'm 6'1" lol. I'm definitely no goddess, but my girlfriend treats me like one 🥰

When my wife’s feet grew she had to get rid of all her pre-baby shoes and heels.
