 Poster: A snowHead
|
Ok, let's cut to the chase here, fitting boots and women's feet before and after pregnancy.
My young lady is expected to drop in 2-3 weeks, in the last month her feet have gone from being a beautiful, long, high instep and non bumpy size 25 to a current size 28!!!!!
So all that extra weight and elasticine and collagen are making a few preparative changes.
I will post up some pics of it all soon, just couldn't find the thread on this subject.

If I was anything to go by they will shrink back after the event. Just make sure her pregnancy team are aware if they actually start to swell as this can indicate that action may become needed. This close to birth I shouldn't think she is still skiing is she? So I'd wait until well after the event before you decide to tweak her ski boots (even though I imagine you are dying to ply your trade LOL).

My wife went skiing with me in Cervinia at 17 weeks pregnant and found that her boots were on the tight side to say the least. Then we found she was wearing thicker socks.....
Actually I can't imagine anyone going skiing in the last weeks before birth. 20 weeks yes, 38 weeks pregnant no way.! Balance would be off by miles and where would you find salopettes to fit?

Well my feet swelled quite a bit while pregnant and never went back totally to my old size (a yr and a half since the last one). I have loads of shoes I can no longer wear! No prob with ski boots tho as mine were too big anyway, but that's another story and another thread!

The trust of the thread will be to see how and when, even if, her feet fully recover.

I noticed some odd swelling of my own during conception.
Will this affect my boots?

My feet really swelled up at the end of my first pregnancy and nearly got me wheeled into hospital for an induction (kicking and screaming and crying and saying 'I won't' got me out of that one), I never suffered any lasting effects and the feet went down afterwards. What I was most disappointed in was the bits of me that I wanted to swell a bit never did

My feet have returned to their usual duck-shape.

Mine never went back to their previous size. Size 5 before #1, 6 after. Size 7 if I'm lucky after #2, and nearly everything is too narrow now.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

In order to isolate the foot-changes due to pregnancy, as opposed to foot-changes due to putting on or losing weight, we need more information on weight. For example, Okanagan, how have your other sizes changed? Do you take the same size clothes now as before babies?
What would be interesting would be any consistent evidence that people who weigh the same before and after pregnancy, and go back to taking the same size clothes, nonetheless have bigger (or different shape) feet.
To eliminate the effects of age, we also need to find out whether those differences are any greater than in a comparison group of women who have spent the same number of years NOT having babies.
You might be able to get a research grant for this, smallzookeeper.
