Suddenly They Were Gone

pre pregnancy ankles

Dear Ankles,

I didn’t know how much I loved you until I woke up a couple days ago and realized that you’d up and left. Not only that, but you left somebody else’s feet. The chubby toes and swollen ankles don’t belong to me. Swollen ankles is not a good look for anyone, no matter which way you cut it – enormously pregnant or not.

Do you have plans to return and take shape at the bottom of my body again or have you left me with these cankles forever? Rumor has it that pregnant women leave pregnancy with bigger feet, but is this true with ankles? Oh, I hope not. Come back!!

I’ll swoon over  you upon your return and show you off to anyone who is willing to listen, just don’t leave me with these water retaining things that are a poor replacement for your shape!

Love,

Hannah

  1. Hannah!! This is the funniest post EVER! A friend was just telling me a few weeks ago that after she had her first, her cankles went back to normal within hours. She couldn’t stop admiring them.

  2. For a short period of time, I would lose my ankles whenever I’d take a long plane ride. It’s my poor circulation. Now I wear these amazing sox that keep it together and make me look and feel less like an elephant. I know some of those special sox are safe fro pregnant women… Maybe you can look into that?
