Are sore feet a symptom you must deal with during pregnancy? According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) the answer is “no.” There are many remedies available to help alleviate foot pain.
According to Marybeth Crane, DPM, FACFAS, a Dallas-area foot and ankle surgeon, women often experience foot pain during pregnancy because of increased weight, foot instability and swelling. “In the last five years, I’ve seen an increase in pregnant women with foot pain because more women than ever before are active, even running marathons, during their pregnancies,” Dr Crane says. ACFAS recommends the following guidelines to help reduce foot pain during pregnancy.

- Painful and swollen feet: wear wide comfortable shoes and don’t cross legs when sitting
- Arch Pain: stretch daily in the morning and before and after any exercise, don’t go barefoot and wear supportive low-heeled shoes
- Ingrown Toenails: wear wider shoes during the last trimester of pregnancy to avoid ingrown toenails.
It is also not uncommon for women to experience a change in their foot size during pregnancy. “A permanent growth in a women’s foot, up to half a size, can occur from the release of the relaxin hormone, that allows the pelvis to open to deliver the baby. It makes the ligaments in your feet more flexible, causing feet to spread wider and longer,” Dr Crane adds.
