High heels during pregnancy

[berrme]

I am not a big heel wearer for daytime/ work, but I wore high heels right up to the end of my pregnancies if I was getting dressed up. A woman I worked with, who is only 5ft wore her huge heels everyday until she went on leave. You aren't alone.

We are supposed to ditch them for safety reasons, but I didn't find my balance to be greatly affected. You will probably find your feet get a big bigger and your legs get tired and achey so heels will get less comfortable to wear for long periods as you get further along.

I wore heals up until the day I gave birth to my DD. I also wore them for 20 weeks when pregnant with Noah and for 3 months when pregnant with my DS2.

I wore them right up to the point I couldn't get my poor swollen feet into them anymore

I found high heels a LOT more comfortable when pregnant and wore 4" heels all through the pregnancy. I did try to wear flats at first, but they were uncomfortable except for trainers and I was told off for barefoot or trainers at work so 4" heel boots came out 2nd trimester for constant wear and I never looked back.

I'm 38 weeks and still wearing heels, not the 5 inch ones I used to wear before a I got pregnant, but still a heel that's a good couple of inches. I actually find that I am more comfortable in them than flats because they force you to tuck your pelvis in which stops me from arching my back. If I wear flats I inevitably end up with a sore back and my sciatica being aggravated. I even got my physio to agree that in my case I was better off wearing a heel than a flat

High heels? I WISH!! I had to buy granny shoes and wear them as they were the only comfortable shoes I could wear!

Good luck if you can keep wearing them!
