I completely panicked when my slippers didn't fit anymore! But my doctor reassured me it's just normal swelling. Keep moving your ankles a bit.

Fluid retention is very common, especially in the third trimester. Just make sure to get your blood pressure checked regularly to ensure it's not a warning sign.

It's usually due to water retention and increased blood flow. My mummy used to tell me to keep my feet elevated on a pillow whenever I was resting.
