This is kind of spinoff from the other thread about falling when pregnant. How many of you wear heels throughout your pregnancy? I was always told to avoid heels whilst pregnant because you already have less balance due to your pelvis bone loosening up and the added weight which strains your back. at my church a lot of the ladies were 4 inch heels or higher whilst pregnant even when its icy outside. I havent worn heels since I got pregnant. I'm tall anyway and rarely wear heels anyway so maybe thats made it easier for me to stick to flats.
What do you guys think? Does it even matter?

I wear heels (3 inches I think?) every day in my office. I wear flat Ugg boots to and from work in fall and winter, and usually ballet flats to and from in nicer weather, and keep my heels at work. I’m only 15 weeks along but have no issue wearing heels, and my coworker wore sky high heels every day at work throughout her entire pregnancy.
-
I'll wear heels when I feel like it, but not if I'll be standing/walking for a long time. I wouldn't wear them shopping, but to work is fine.
-
I don't wear them but I never really wore them before, unless I needed to dress up for something. I'm accident prone enough without them!
-
I wear them daily for work up until I developed pre-e (30 weeks) and suddenly swelled out of my shoes (and some pants! my calves are super swollen & pitting as well, ugh).
Looking forward to getting back into my heels though! -
i didn't wear heels once when i was pregnant with olive. i did wear them occasionally up to my third trimester with charlie. now that i'm used to not wearing heels, my feet hurt so much when i do wear them that i can't wear them for very long!
-
I've worn heels the few times I've felt like dressing up for a nice date. Most of the time I'm in flats or flip flops and even when I wear heels it's not for very long.
-
I wear a low heel to work every day. I don't think it affects my balance any more than any other shoes because I'm used to it since I wear them every day.
-
I rarely wear heels anyway so I only wore them for the few occasions I got really dressed up for.
-
I very rarely wear heels anyway. But towards the end of my pregnancy my feet were so swollen, I had to buy a new pair of shoes and I was limited to that one pair. Flip flops.
-
I wore them daily at work up until I delivered.
-
I wore heels a few times while pregnant but never fell or came close to falling in them. I'm not a very coordinated person either, I fell quite a few times when I was pregnant on ice or because or dogs but never from heels.
-
I'm still wearing my heels, but I've dropped the height from around 5" to 3". It just feels weird to wear lower than that since my husband is 16" taller than me.
-
I don't really wear heels on a normal day so I definitely don't wear them while pregnant. I was trying to think of a reason where I would wear heels when pregnant but I'm the girl who even wears flats to weddings.
-
I wore heels until I hit 20 weeks.
-
I did in the first trimester to a wedding and out and about a little. After that I didn't because I wouldn't, it was just too uncomfortable and painful for me.
-
My "heels" are my cowboy boots, which I still wear
My GF wore heels all through her pregnancy, we would joke that she would deliver in them! She was so used to them, that it wasn't a big deal at all.
-
I've never really worn heels pre-pregnancy, so I'm not wearing them now.
-
i don't wear them all the time but occasionally i will. why not?
-
My feet never swelled so I actually found it quite comfortable to wear heels.
-
I would have to say no because I am not good at wearing heels at best of times and when I am pregnant I notice I tend to lose basically all balance I ever had to start with.
-
I love my heels! I don't know what I would do without them
I think they are a wonderful calf exercise too haha
-
I wore heels to 3 weddings but stuck to flat shoes the rest of the time. Flats for work. Flip flops. Uggs the last week. I miss my old shoes!
-
No. because of swelling, falling, and a complete lack of coordination! On a good day I can trip over thin air, so I don't want to risk this little guy!
-
I wore heels well into the 2nd tri with my last pregnancy. I feel like it helped with my posture and lower back pain, actually. The reason I stopped around the 3rd tri was because most of my heels were getting tight due to swelling.
-
i've worn heeled boots but will definitely stop once it starts snowing. not worth the potential to fall!
