Do you have to opt for flat shoes during pregnancy? No more pumps and pretty patent leather shoes? Our advice for choosing your shoes during pregnancy.
What not to wear when pregnant?
From the beginning of pregnancy, it is better to leave your high heels in the closet. Shoes with heels that are too high during pregnancy can have quite harmful consequences on the bodies of expectant mothers. Indeed, pregnant women are often faced with lack of balance that can cause sprains, strains and cramps . In addition, heels put pressure on the knees and can cause a real bad backache . However, the latter are already tested enough by the rapid weight gain during pregnancy: Finally, the body releases a hormone during pregnancy (relaxin) responsible for a relaxation of the muscles and ligaments: the ankles are consequently weakened.
Choose the right pair of shoes during your pregnancy
Ladies, to avoid back pain , you can therefore swap your stilettos for more conventional heels of 4 centimeters maximum which provide good support for the foot and ankle. When pregnant, this is the ideal height for walking with a good step and you will thus spare your back and ankles.
Ultra-flat shoes like ballet flats, loafers or flip-flops are also shoes to avoid during pregnancy because they offer no support or balance to the ankles.
If you are addicted to high heels, rest assured, you can still wear them for special occasions even during your pregnancy, provided you take them off quickly and do not walk for miles!
