Is it safe to wear high heels when I'm pregnant?
I would say, "Are you Crazy?", but some women prefer to wear high heels all the time. According to the nurses at my doctor's office, wearing high heels (even wide-based, clunky ones) is not a good idea during pregnancy. That's because your weight increases and your body shape and center of gravity change, making you walk differently (and less steadily). I think I would look and feel like an elephant on skates if I wore high heels at any point during my second and third trimesters, but I do know that some women are able to pull off such a feat and look stunning. However, a fall during pregnancy could hurt you and possibly your baby, so think twice before adding height to your growing girth. I can promise you that you most likely will not miss those high heeled clunkers. Comfort will be your ultimate goal!
