"There is no one more beautiful than a pregnant woman in the world.

In the eyes - happiness, in the heart - love, on the cheeks - a blush.

And inside - a small life. "

Pregnancy - happy and dangerous period women's life. The future mammy has to get used to a new position, heavy responsible. To diet, edema, changeable mood. By virtue of numerous limitations, one of which is the ban of studs. Why is pregnant can't walk on heels?

So hard to break up!

Studs - Magic thing: Initially, shoes - a gorgeous lady, then removed - happy woman. So joke about heels, and in every joke there is some truth. Any friend of lovely sex seeks to look immaculately. Who does not want to appear before the public attractive and slim!

Besides perfect Makeup, well-groomed marigolds charm woman creates elegant shoes on heels. A future mammy especially want to be feminine and attractive. During pregnancy, women appear an irresistible desire to look good, put on beautiful clothes and shoes.

The female subconscious requires its own, because the weight increases, the stomach grows, the character changes, hormones are stuck. Pregnancy - it's not a reason to become negleous, girls say and buy stylish outfits, more often visits beauty salons and cannot part with heels, affecting high studs even with an already obvious tummy.

Period when a woman wears new life, It is shrouded in a huge number of superstitions and prohibitions. Some proceed from grandmother's contrived fears and prejudices. But there are such restrictions that have specific justifications of doctors. Doctors strongly recommend refusing to walk on heels from the first days of pregnancy.

But why? Is it possible not to pay attention to the taboo and continue to please yourself with pins?

Heels and female organism

Fashion is a demanding and stubborn thing. It often dictates the rules, not paying attention to health. It is difficult to meet a woman who is able to sacrifice the beauty and convenience of foot to sacrifice, replacing studs on a flat inexpressive sole.

Wearing a heel visually increases the length of the legs, adds growth, straightens his shoulders. Women's walking becomes seductive and feminine. But for charm, the magic of beauty has to sacrifice health.

Danger for foot

Women, know! Heel 7 cm Provides a leg of a foot load 2-3 times big laid! As a result, the transverse arch of the foot is compacted, and the unfortunate thumb accepts an unnatural position - it is twisted and deviates inward. Famous bumps! Painful, ugly, spoiling women life. They are familiar to everyone who went to narrow shoe on the heel.

When wearing the heel, the feeling of support changes, the usual step from the heel on the sock becomes impossible. It is dangerous - there is a violation of all the biomechanics of the step.

The muscles of the feet are "forget" about when and how it should be properly working, which leads to the disorders of the gait even on flat shoes. The bones of the mood and joints of the feet are extremely fragile and gentle. Long wearing heel leads to a number of troubles:

Natoptyshi. The most harmless effects of studs. Painful seals arise as a result of a unnatural load on the toes and circulatory disorders in these zones. The skin of the legs, which should be soft, gentle and silky, turns into a dry "elephant notch".

Corn and deformation of the nail plate.With constant friction of the toes and the concomitant circulatory disorders appear rude, painful corns. And nails are deformed and crack. Weakening of the health of marigold affect the appearance of the feet fungus.

Deformation of fingers (bursitis).How to recognize lover of studs? Take a look at the shape of her feet. They are flashed, remind of flattening ugly hammers. The entire foot area repeats the toe shoes. Such deformation is called "Hammerto" and is able to cause inflammatory processes of stop joints.

Dysfunction Achilles tendon.Achilles tendon is the most powerful and strong tendon of human body. It connects the ionic muscles and the heel bone. Wearing studs leads to pathological changes - tendon loses elasticity and hardened. A woman cannot subsequently walk even on comfortable flat soles.

Bumps on the heels. Ugly formations on the tops arise through the fault of high heels. In such a shoe, the heel is too rigid, constant rubbing the back of the foot provokes irritation and subsequent inflammatory reactions to the heels. If you do not pay attention to it, the student of the studs will acquire a chronic disease of the heel muscles.

If a woman who is constantly wearing high heels, begins to feel the tingling and numbness of the toes - you should immediately visit the surgeon. Such symptoms are characteristic of Morton's neuros. This is a disease of the nerve endings of the foot (nerve roots grow and become hypersensitive).

Neurome accompanies another trouble - metatarsalgia. With such a disease, a person feels not passing pain in the front zone of the feet. But much more serious things are with health if it comes to internal organs. Studs are able to provoke hidden fractures of bones of joints or fingers.

Externally, such injuries are invisible, and they detect problems over time when pains in the legs become unbearable.

Load on the spine

Walking on the heel makes women making shorter chambers, which entails an increasing burden on the spine. What is fraught with (if you do not stop walking on the hairpins)?


Harm to the heels is huge. When walking on studs, a woman balances to go smoothly, not allowing drops. The mechanics of movements of the whole body change changes (the pelvis is advanced forward, the bending of the lower back is increasing, and the berium muscles are constantly suspended).

All this entails the deformation of the spine and the femoral bones and becomes the culprit of the appearance of vertebral diseases (arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis).

The danger lies and thighs, when walking on the pellets, the muscles of the CFR work not in full, the poor muscle tissues have to take on a significant part of the load - the muscles around the joints is damaged and provokes the occurrence of diseases (coxarthrosis, perthes disease, tendinitis, bursit pelvis).

Damage to vessels

Stand on the tiptoe - felt the calf muscles stiffen? But when walking on heels, these muscle tissues are shortened. What are they doing? These are the pumps, the muscles of caviar constantly pump blood, removing 15-20% of the load from the heart muscle. What happens when shrunking muscle fibers Icres?

  1. Since the blood vascular walls are no longer so intensely "massaged" with muscle contractions, the vessels now remain in abbreviated form.
  2. Chronic reduction of vasces entails blood and violation of the valves.
  3. A lover of studs begin with pressure problems, varicoses and thrombosis appear.

Poor women should completely abandon the studs? Armed with dies and sneakers? Not! Doctors recommend wearing studs not more than 2-3 hours daily. After all, the heels bring and benefit! They save on the development of flatfoot, strengthen and train the muscles of the legs. The maximum heel is selected individually - the body itself will be asked about which heel it will take.

For everyday socks, the heel size is allowed in 4-5 centimeters. But women suffering from varicose disease and arthritis, pins are contraindicated. Futive mommies should completely refuse high heel!

Heels during pregnancy

From the first moment of conception in the female organism there is a global restructuring hormonal background. The main hormone of future moms - progesterone proceeds to active activities. In the entire period of pregnancy, progesterone prepares the body towards childbirth, acting on connecting tissues, softening them.

From what period of pregnancy does the feet danger appear? Already in the early stages, foot muscles are softened, and the mass of the body increases. The studs are dangerous for both the health of mommy and for the future kid.

Danger for women

How do heels affect pregnancy? Because of the hormonal changes, the work of progesterone, claders and feet ligaments are stretched, become friable and fragile. Such factors provoke the appearance of varicose veins or flatfoot - the heel aggravates the dangerous situation and leads to the appearance of pulling pains of the spine and swelling. Heels injured even on early timing!

The most common injuries, the culprits of which the hairpin becomes - dislocations, stretching, fractures. The situation is more serious when the spine is injured.

The fuel of the ligament apparatus under the influence of heel walking transcends the incurable deformation of the joint. The hip joint is suffering, the joints of the stop and the knee, which provokes seizures and the loss of feet sensitivity.

Additional load during pregnancy is not only for the spine and muscles. They suffer from vessels that have to work in the avral mode. High heels enhance the load on the vascular, which leads to the occurrence of diseases and strong swelling (especially at 7 months).

Future mothers, you are satisfied with the belly after childbirth, covered with rough stretching? The hairpin changes the point of the support, the body cargo during the heels is now on the thoughts of the feet (the abdominal press muscles relax). Pregnant aggravates such a situation - after all, its weight is much more.

The baby, nine months growing in a maternal tusk, is constantly moving, stretching the skin of the peritoneum (the intensive growth of the fetus begins for 3 months). As a result, the belly will acquire a huge amount of stretch marks, to remove which is difficult after delivery.

Hazards for baby

On 5 months of development, the future little man is already moving in the abdomen of mom. If pregnant carries heels, the center of gravity of the body is seriously shifted. The baby takes the wrong position (if this happens on 6 months or 7th, the danger is not yet - the baby can turn over).

But already immediately before the delivery, the improper position of the fetus leads to cesarean section or complicated childbirth.

In obstetric practice, there were cases when the excessive tension of the calf muscles strengthened the burden on the spine and the hip apparatus. This situation stimulated the uterine muscles, which led to premature Rodam or miscarriage. To stop the pregnancy and death of the baby influenced the fall of a pregnant woman, who was tucked on his legs on the heels.

Beautiful heels postpone storage (they will still serve). And be sure to explore the instructions, which shoes are needed by a future mom.

Choose shoes for pregnant

Picking up shoes, try not to save. High-quality training from natural fabrics is much more important than a stylish handbag or a new costume. And do not consider the shoes only for a period of pregnancy - ahead of daily walks with the baby, where the high heel also hurts.

Go on shoe stores in the evening. At this time, the leg swells, it will be easier to choose a comfortable shoe. Measure the models on both legs, wait into them, go. Listen to the feeling! And buy shoes on the floor or size more (taking into account tights, socks and upcoming edema feet).

From what deadline to forget about the studs

When should I refuse fashionable heels? Forget about them as soon as I learned the happy news. But, if you are unable to say goodbye to the cable, stick to these rules:

  1. In heels you can only fit into the first two months of pregnancy (when the tummy is not yet). But do it in the most exceptional cases.
  2. Laying supinators (special insoles). They reduce the load on the musculoskeletal system.
  3. Look shoes with a closure around the ankle and a wide weekee. Such shoes are stronger than foot.
  4. Wear with you a pair of shoes on a solid sole and immediately change the shoes after 1.5-2 hours of walking (it is so much time you can wear heels at the beginning of pregnancy).

How many months of pregnancy is allowed heel? The earlier future mom He will refuse the stud - the safer and safe will be pregnant. But the shoes on the flat sole will not benefit. Choose "Golden Mid!"

Best footwear for pregnant women - sandals, moccasins or boots / half-boots (depending on the season). The heel is low and small.

What is meant by "cable?" A tanket, or a square stable heel not higher than 3-4 centimeters. Be sure to guide orthopedic insoles-tabs, corrective center of gravity and facilitating the state of the legs at edema.

We select shoes taking into account the term

I trimester. Soft shoes with low and wide heel. Excellent option in the early pregnancy will be the training sport style on lacing. And heels? What is the height allowed? From model shoes, pick up shoes with a heel to 3 centimeters.

II trimester.At this time, it becomes a prominent tummy. Now it's time to abandon the studs and pick up the shoes from natural material with a perforated insole for the "breathing of legs" and a wide sole for sustainability. Forget about fashionable tops and narrow thickens!

On this time of pregnancy, pick up a shoe with a gap from shoes to a foot of at least one centimeter!

Just on these pores, the feet of a woman swell. Such a gap is needed to avoid problems in normal blood flow. Heel Suppose to 1.5-2 centimeters.

III trimester.Heavy and responsible for mommy. Doctors recommend switching to solid, flat soles in the last months of pregnancy. Heels B. last trimesterEven low, it is impossible!

In the third trimester, forget about the lacing on the shoes - it will drag swelling legs and will aggravate the problem.

Flat sole It contributes to the best deduction of equilibrium when walking, will reduce the load on the muscles. But shoes, even on a solid sole with a closed heel. Winter training should be on a solid, corrugated sole! You do not want to lose the balance and fall on the ice?

IN recent months pregnancy due to big belly It's hard to bend. Take care that footwear easily slipped the leg and did not have difficulty with a fastener. The velcro or zipper will be helped here (they are easy to fasten, putting the foot on the stool).

Low to lean to fasten the shoes, prohibit! It will help without effort to wear shoes long (from 50-60 cm) Spoon. And in the offseason and in the winter, go to the workshop, shoes will make the anti-slip rolls on the sole - so safer!

Heels and platform.Is it possible to abandon heels during pregnancy in favor of the platform / wedge? Such models with a smooth transition from the heel to the sock seem suitable. But this form is far from always stable. Choosing a wedge, pay attention to the following nuances:

  • The leg should be comfortable and convenient.
  • The platform is low (maximum 3 centimeters).
  • Footwear on the platform should not be tightly easy to make a foot.
  • Reliable clutch with expensive (corrugated sole).

Lightweight legs after walking

After a long walking, let's relax on the legs. Lie and place them on the hill to prevent the occurrence of swelling and improve blood flow. Were more often resting and change the location of the body! With predisposition to the varicose veins, do not wait for the appearance of spars - immediately acquire compression stockings And underwear.

Water. Drink often! Contrary to opinion, this will not provoke a swelling, but will bring excess salts from the body (they lead to the appearance of edema). Effectly indulgertic legs with a contrasting shower.

Send a water jet to the sole, perform the steps of rotational movements (20 times in each direction). These exercises will help the icy muscles not to lose the tone.

After the gymnastics stop, send a stream of water from the fingers to the knee and back to stimulate the bloodstream and improve the condition of the icy muscles.

Ointment and cream.After the stimulating soul, add joy with legs - apply special anti-edema and antague funds on them. Such ointments contain as Menthol, Extracts of Konsky, Marine Algae, Blueberry and Arnica Extract and Vitamins C and K.

Regular use of funds improves lymphotok, strengthens and protects vascular walls.

Gymnastics. Do not forget about the exercises for the legs! Gymnastics increases blood circulation and strengthens foot muscles:

  1. Lie on your back, legs lift and make them rotational movements like a bike.
  2. Lying, rotate foot footsteps in different directions.
  3. Standing, slowly lift and go down on socks.
  4. Walk on the spot, trying to tear off the floor only the heel.
  5. Lying, try "Write" in the air any word with your feet.

Each day energetically rub and massag the tired legs (start massaging movements from the feet and move to the thighs).

Protect the legs from high temperatures! Do not hold next to the heaters and do not exhibit them under the scorching sun.

And remember that pregnancy is temporary phenomenon! And live your left life with your legs! Discard the heels, take care of the legs and soon you will become even more beautiful when you walk on your favorite heels, keeping your baby's hand!

All doctors in one voice claim that heels during pregnancy categorically contraindicated. First, wearing heels, affects the position of the baby and provokes the appearance of stretch marks on the belly of a pregnant woman. Secondly, no one is secret that, putting on heels, we change the center of gravity, and this adversely affects the spine.
Opening heels during pregnancy, the woman also increases the load on the pelvic muscles, the muscles of the legs, lower back. It can provoke pain in the back and legs of pregnant.

In addition, it is worth considering that the weight of the woman during pregnancy increases, and the ligaments on the legs relax in connection with the change in the hormonal background future mommy. Increased load on the legs in addition to pain can cause the development of varicose veins, flatfoot, swelling and, of course, injuries.

How do heels affect pregnancy?

Changing the point of the support changes the position of the woman when walking: the belly of a pregnant woman is protruding, the uterine position changes and changes. This, of course, adversely affects the position of the baby in the womb. Wearing heels can provoke premature genera, cause complications during childbirth and even cause cesarean sections.

Injuries that can provoke wearing heels during pregnancy

Many pregnant women choose a wedge shoes that have smooth transition From the sock to the heel, but not always such shoes are stable. The main thing when choosing shoes take into account the following nuances: it should be comfortable and comfortable, the foot should not swell and get tired, the heel must be low and reliable.

Why is pregnant can't walk on heels? Permissible height of heel during pregnancy

A woman always remains a woman. Even in the period of tooling the child, she wants to be beautiful and cause admiration for men. She tries to follow themselves, wearing a pretty dress and elegant shoes. Here, many make a mistake, trying to put beauty in the first place, and only then - care for health.

We are talking about hairpins. About the very toolting of the seduction, which causes representatives of a strong sex to lose their heads.

But is it safe to heels during pregnancy? Let's think about whether you should wear such shoes ladies "in the position" or better to wear shoes on a low wedge - simple and practical.

  • Pregnant on studs: "For" and "against"
  • Why you can not wear high heel in 2 trimester and late
  • Hazard in early time
  • Permissible height
  • To what period you can

Heels during pregnancy

Before thinking about the question whether it is possible to wear heels to be pregnant, remember that they say orthopedic doctors about hairpins or on a high platform - regardless of whether a woman awaiting a child, or that, which is not yet Plans to acquire offspring (or has long gave birth). And they claim the following: often wear shoes, the height of the heel of which exceeds 6-7 cm, harmful in any case.

  • changes the shape of the stop: due to the wrong distributed load, the bones of the bone occurs thumb;
  • the microcirculation of soft tissues, a ligament apparatus of the feet and bones is worsen;
  • the gait is changing, favorable conditions are created for the appearance of protrusions and hernia in the lumbar-sacral division, because the center of gravity is shifted.

Walk on the heels during pregnancy - not the best choice Future mother. In its body, processes occur, which only strengthen the harmful effects of studs and other varieties of the supporting part of the shoes, boots and boots that produce on a man (like we, women, think) an indelible impression.

Why pregnant women can not go on heels

Why you can not wear heels during pregnancy, it will be able to explain the gynecologist and a doctor of almost any other specialization: because such shoes affects many bodies. Let's start with the fact that, as they say, "lies on the surface": with changes in the musculoskeletal system.

Under the influence of hormonal changes in bundles and joints become more elastic, soften. The ankle joint is experiencing serious loads - especially in late terms, when the weight of the future mother is significantly increasing. The third trimester and studs are incompatible phenomena. Excessive load leads to the deformation of the foot and increasing the likelihood of various injuries: dislocations, stretching.

A lot of problems may arise from the side of the lower back: in the second trimester and in the 3 trimester, the spin is tired, because the fruit "pulls" the weight of themselves. The center of gravity and is so shifted due to a large and heavy uterus, and the beauty on heels still adds to his work for two work "work": the joints and muscles of the back are forced to remain in a constantly intense state, and this increases the likelihood of injuries and various troubles like the attacks of Lumbago When the nerve endings are shifted and squeezed.

You did not convince these arguments? Then we call another number of reasons that can show ourselves in the early stages, and the second trimester has time to make it give to the heels's shoes most of the future moms.

Opening shoes on heels, you:

  • increase the risk of falling, which is fraught with injuries, detachment placenta and even miscarriage;
  • create favorable conditions for the constant tone of the uterus (again due to the overvoltage of the muscles of the back and press);
  • create prerequisites for development in yourself (and if it is diagnosed earlier, then to transition it to a more severe stage);
  • provocive (the microcirculation of blood and lymph deteriorates, stagnant phenomena are observed - and this is enough for the edema, because the "pregnant" organism and so prefers to keep "extra" water and reluctantly breaks up with it).

Yes, the consequences are not pleasant, agree, we, weighing everything "for" and "against". But maybe everything applies to the period of pregnancy when the tummy is already taking to a woman and noticeable by others? And in the first weeks, maybe it is not forbidden to wear heels?

Heels during early pregnancy

Heels during pregnancy in early time may seem to be a harmless version of the shoes only at first glance. Yes, there is still no weight, but there is a danger to stumble, fall and lose the child. In pregnant women in the first trimester, sudden bouts of dizziness, nausea, falls are often happening arterial pressure. Imagine that your head was smelled, "the soil swam from under the feet," and here are still heels. And if it happens in winter when the ice circle? One incorrect movement - and you can lose a not yet born baby.

The first trimester is generally considered to be decisive to preserve pregnancy. Increased risk of spontaneous abortion. That is why the refusal to the heels will be the right decision, even if you just learned about what will soon become a mother.

Which heel can be worn pregnant

Please note: calling the future mother to failure of heels, doctors do not say that this refusal must be complete. Footwear on a completely flat sole is not physiological, and therefore legs will swell and will create prerequisites for the development of flatfoot (taking into account the increasing weight). therefore small platform Or a small stable heel must be present.


The height height should not exceed 3-4 cm - it will be the best choice for the future mother

The optimal height of the heel during pregnancy is 3-4 cm. The permissible height of the heel - 5-6 cm. The main thing is to be wide to create a good support.

To what period of pregnancy can be wearing heels

If it is still difficult for you to abandon your shoes on heels, if you are so accustomed to them that the legs in the shoes of a different model are uncomfortable, you can afford some time to paint in chic shoes. Heels during pregnancy - to what period doctors consider them relatively safe? Perhaps this is the first few weeks, provided that you are comfortable.

It is important to comply with such conditions:

  • put on the shoes not more than 3-4 hours;
  • buy shoes comfortable, not cramped, from natural materials;
  • to have a second pair with you, let it be classic boats on the heater 3-4 cm or shoes on a low platform, in the extreme case - ordinary ballet shoes at low move.

If you want to keep your leg health, do not suffer after childbirth from the resulting "bumps" at the base of the thumb, continue to wear short skirts And do not think about the emerging varicose meshe, and also never know what kind of calf muscle cramps is to give up high heels at the time of tooling the baby. Do not stand the risk of yourself and the child.

A pregnant woman is so beautiful - after all, she is completely transformed, her eyes shine deep inner light. Well, a figure ... Think about it later. You will still have time to put yourself in order and produce a furor among others when you leave "in the light" on your favorite studs along with a small daughter or a son. You will be the youngest, beautiful and stylish mom!

Well, why it is impossible to walk on heels to be pregnant - the future moms are wondering, being on the first weeks interesting position. Or maybe you can still? And nothing terrible will happen? Let's figure out in common opinions and misconceptions on this.

According to psychologists, the syndrome of the desire of heels during pregnancy is caused by one reason. A woman, even looking forward to this joyful event, suddenly understands that her life will change dramatically. There will be no longer a lot that it was typical of her in everyday life, styling and priorities will change. In the end, appearance will change, and it is not yet known which way. She wants to stay beautiful and attractive as long as possible in the eyes of others. And it seems that heels for this are what you need.

But here are the doctors to the question of what will happen if wearing heels in pregnancy, they say warningly: nothing good. And it is connected with the features of the structure of the foot and the changes occurring in the female organism.

Why Stop suffers

The structure of the foot includes about 30 bones. In the standing position, the load from the body weight is distributed on them more or less evenly, although the main pressure falls on the rear (heel) and the middle (the arch of the foot). There are joints here. Despite the small size, in each foot there are 33. The task of these joints is to amortize when walking so that the knee and hip joints have less load.

What happens when a woman puts on a high stud? Understanding this will allow you to answer the question yourself, is it possible to go to heels to be pregnant.

  • There is a shift of the centers of gravity. Instead of the uniform distribution of them on three stop points, all the severity of the body should take out the phalanges of the fingers and the front of the foot for which this load is inconspicuous.
  • The center of gravity shifts forward. The new conditions adapts the spine. He is unusually bent in the lower back.
  • A compensation reaction to the lumbar bend occurs: The spine is strung in the thoracic department.
  • Violation of the natural position of the spine leads to change in the position of internal organs and blood circulation.

Negative changes and the legs themselves occur. The redistribution of the load literally knocks down from the overall muscle work. Over time, they become flabby and weak. This leads to a violation of blood flow, staging, contributing to the development of varicose veins.

Are heels and pregnancy compatible

And what about pregnancy? The state of affairs is exacerbated to a greater extent.

In addition to the problems of physiological, a banal security aspect should be taken into account. It is impossible to walk on heels in ice and rain, without creating a threat to the baby's health. Yes, in normal weather, a thin hairpin, forcing the leg to balance, creates a risk to turn the ankle or dangerously falling.

What shoes should be chosen by the future mom

Despite the danger of wearing heels, doctors do not call for abandon them completely. And to the question, it is possible to wear heels to wear, they answer: it is possible, but special.

Instead of high stud choose:

  • height height 3-5 cm - It will ensure the correct position of the foot, will become a competent prevention of flatfoot.
  • a tank - it supports the foot in the natural position, and the back looks exactly like a heel.

Does not advise doctors and fall in extremes, preferring to running sneakers instead of favorite shoes. The first, like ballet shoes, boats and other low-run shoes stimulate foot flattening, causing the development of flatfoot. If it is convenient for you that the shoes are convenient for you, during the pregnancy, add it an orthopedic insole with a supinator.

And do not forget about heels during pregnancy in early terms. While the weight of the tummy is not great, we carry them with pleasure. At the same time, you always have more convenient replaceable shoes in case the legs are tired. In the evening, pamper the feet with a warm bath (temperatures up to 38 ° C) and a light massage.


Heels shoes are so firmly in life modern womanthat even pregnancy does not become a reason to abandon her. Despite the prohibitions of doctors, many future mothers continue to wear elegant shoes on a thin hairpin and favorite boots on the platform hardly to the birth. Gynecologists warn: Heel is dangerous! Wearing such shoes creates a serious load on the spine, the muscles of the pelvis and legs, and therefore prevents the work and internal organs. Is it worth risking his health if you can abandon the heel for a while, preferring a comfortable sustainable shoe?

High heel danger

Wearing a shoe on a heel creates certain problems:

  • The center of gravity is shifting and the point of the support is changing. Normally, the body weight must have to all stop. When wearing shoes in high heels does not happen, and the weight falls only on the tie bones. Such a position does not contribute to good sustainability and increases the likelihood of falling. Injuries during pregnancy can turn into serious consequences up to miscarriage.
  • Wearing shoes on heels increases the load on the ligaments of the foot and ankle joint, which leads to the appearance of pain and edema.
  • Heel boosts the load on the spine. Wearing uncomfortable shoes enhances the lumbar lordosis (natural bend). The center of gravity is shifted forward, chronic pain in the lumbar region occur.
  • When driving on heels, the load on the pelvic muscles is enhanced, which also does not contribute to improving well-being.
  • Excessive load on the muscles of the legs worsens the state of the veins of the lower extremities and creates conditions for the development of varicose disease. Varicose veins - direct path to thrombosis.

In anticipation of the kid's body, the woman changes significantly. The increasing load on the legs leads to the appearance of "duck gait", which becomes especially noticeable in the later timing. A woman walks slowly and moving, but not at all is the main problem. Under the influence of progesterone, bundles are softened and stretched, the load on the muscles and vessels increases - and all this happens even when wearing ordinary comfortable shoes.

What will happen if the future mother puts on a high-heeled shoes in spite of the doctors? Load for bundles, muscles and joints will increase, which will lead to the appearance of unpleasant symptoms:

  • severity and pain in the legs, especially after a long walk and in the evening;
  • swelling of the lower extremities;
  • the emergence of varicose extended veins or deterioration of the condition in existing disorders;
  • pain in the lumbar region;
  • cramps of calf muscles.

The appearance of stretch marks on the stomach is also associated with wearing uncomfortable shoes. Excessive tilt forward when using heels leads to excessive stretching of abdominal muscles. The discrepancy between the muscles provokes the tension of the skin, which becomes the reason for the appearance of stretch marks.

Wearing shoes on the heel significantly increases the risk of joint dislocation in careless movements, and also leads to displacement of the vertebrae.

If you really want, you can?

Doctors gynecologists are categorical in this matter: a pregnant woman should not wear high-heeled shoes - from 4-5 cm. Stilets are categorically forbidden as the most unstable option that creates maximum load on muscles and ligaments. It is not recommended to wear shoes and on a high platform, including fashionable in some medium "Grinders". Similar shoes are better removed into the closet - it is still useful to a young mom after the birth of a child.

It would seem that the most convenient option for a pregnant woman is ballet shoes, boats and sneakers. But here are already protest orthopedic doctors, categorically not advising such shoes to anyone from their patients, and future mothers in particular. The flat sole does not support the foot, which means it creates an increased load on the spine, bundles of the pelvis, joints and the vessels of the lower extremities. From the point of view of possible injuries of ballet shoes and sneakers are safer, however, it is also not necessary to get involved in such shoes.

The optimal option for a pregnant woman is a tight shoe, but not a hardband on a small stable heel - up to 3 cm. You can wear shoes without a pronounced heel, but on a comfortable wedge.
