Despite my many attempts to keep my feet from swelling during my pregnancy, I failed. During my second trimester I could put my feet up for a few hours after having them swell on me and the swelling would eventually go down. But now, they are permanently swollen. Getting even bigger when its hot outside. Because of this fact, I had to buy, what I like the call, my fat flip flops. They are actually orthopedic flip flops that I purchased at my chiropractor's office and they aren't the worst piece of foot wear I've ever owned, but they definitely aren't the nicest. I've had to wear the lovely flip flops for the last couple months (thank goodness its not winter, I have no idea how I could pull off giant winter boots at work). So I have now nicknamed my feet 'Fred Flintstone Feet' and now understand why he never wore shoes - cause he couldn't find any that fit! So a warning to all those expecting mothers, your feet can swell during pregnancy (some worse than others) and be prepared to not be wearing your fancy heels, or flats for your whole pregnancy. I can't wait to put my heels back on - just saying :)
