Experts warn pregnant women of wearing the wrong type of shoes. A poll of 1,000 pregnant women for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists found many regularly wore ballet pumps, flip flops, high heels and Ugg boots. Women are feeling pressured by celebrities to wear high heels during pregnancy. High heels alter your posture and shorten your calf muscles and places pressure on your back and knees. Muscles and ligaments soften and stretch because of an increase in the ovarian hormone relaxing. "In pregnancy this places extra pressure on your joints when they are already under strain - which can result in a host of foot, leg and back problems and could increase the likelihood of falls."
I think it is very important for women to wear the right type of shoes. Being pregnant puts your body under a lot more pressure than usual. This requires the right type of shoes to support your body throughout the day. I also think it is nonsense to risk your health because celebrities also wear high heels during pregnancy. As the article said, they only wear them occasionally. Specially at home, women should wear comfortable, wide-fitting shoes to prevent their ankles or feet of swelling up. It also prevents your back from hurting as it doesn’t experience any extra pressure. Your body will be needing all the strength it can have, while raising a child.

Nice topic. I appreciate that you have chose to write about this subject=P
ReplyDeleteI think you are right when you say that it is very important for women to wear the right type of shoes. Women should not play with their health when they are pregnant. During pregnancy they should wear comfortable shoes. After pregnancy they can wear their high heels again. It is only for a couple of months that they have to put their high heels away.
I totally agree with you. It is important for a pregnant woman to wear the right type of shoe. If you wear shoes because celebrities wear them during their pregnancy, you risk your own health and that of your baby. I think you are irresponsible as a mother to be to wear high heels. I don’t get their husbands if they support their wife’s in wearing heals. I mean you can say that it is bad for her and the baby. And he wants her to wear normal shoes. And those celebrities have some pressure from the media and she doesn’t and that she looks beautiful anyway, no matter what she is wearing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. We women all know that wearing high heels are not the best shoes to wear taking your joints into consideration but we like them because they make us look tall and sexy. However, it is a big deal when your pregnant. Your body is in so much strain already, why put some extra strain on it, there is no need. I mean, not to be cruel or something, you are already fat and you do not look thinner by wearing heels so it is simply useless and not even good for your health. So, why do it?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely do not agree with you people. Women are aloud to wear any type of shoe that they want and it is not fair to limit a woman when she is having a baby. Especially in the first period of pregnancy she will have no trouble wearing heels. Yes I agree, after this period they will suffer horribly but it is their own choice.
