There is a common belief that feet grow during pregnancy. The fact is they don’t actually “grow”. The bones don’t get longer, the organization of the bones is what changes depending on how you are standing.

Don’t forget to check your shoes! Transition to zero drop shoes (flat)! Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear is also a good place to start. Being in a positive heeled shoe will change the loads on your feet.
