3rd Trimester

have you stopped heels?

why oh why have I worn these boots today? My feet hurt so bad, but I'm afraid if I take them off I will not be able to get them back on to leave.

 

Re: have you stopped heels?

  • oh yeah i took advantage of summer and wore flip flops the whole time, when winter hit i tried to put on my shoes and none fit!!  So it's been uggs the whole time, no need to put yourself in pain.

    I've been trying to wear my flip flops outside still!!!! lol

    If its raining and such and just too cold then I squeeze on my sneakers that I pretend to fit me. 

  • Yep, around 32 weeks I switched to wearing my Dansko clogs exclusively. Thankfully I have two pair :)

  • I just recently stopped wearing heels, maybe about a week. 

    Pre-pregnancy, I was definitely a stiletto girl ... and I bought myself a cute pair of low-heeled Donald Pliner black boots at the beginning of this season so I could still be relatively fashionable ... but even those short heels, (only 2"), kill my back now.  I'm wearing Crocs until delivery.  :(  I feel so fat and unfashionable now. 

  • Nope- I still wear them daily but I sit most of the day with my shoes off under my desk. The heels just get me to the bathroom and my car.
  • At 35 weeks my feet blew up and no longer fit in heels or any of my boots.  Up until then, I was still wearing them.

  • I'm 5'11" but I love to wear heels to work. I still wear them, but I wear them less and less often. It used to be everyday - now maybe once or twice a week.
  • I can't get anything on my feet besides flip flops.  I'm squeezing my club feets into a pair of flats.  I sit at a desk all day long so it's not so bad.  But I do have a box underneath my desk to prop my feet up on while sitting.

  • Nope i still wear my heels although everyone hates it. It makes they super nervous lol ecspecially DH and my brother, my mom just rolls her eyes

  • I still wear my heels, just not the super high ones right now.  I feel that if I have about 2 inches, I don't waddles as much!  Now, on Christmas Day, I'll be in 4 inch heels.  But I won't be up too much!

  • Yep - I had to stop heels when I started having such bad leg and lower back pain (sciatica I guess).  I still get the pain in my leg but the heels made it so much worse.

    I hope it gets better by the end of the day - don't forget to elevate them when you get home tonight.

  • I still have kitten heels that I wear a couple of times each week (so that I don't have to have two pair my pants hemmed).  Since I'm mostly sitting at my desk at this point, it's been fine.

    Ditto! 

  • When my feet got too wide for my regular shoes (I took off a pair of flats while at work and could hardly squeeze my feet back into them when it was time to go home), I bought a pair of black and a pair of brown shoes in wide widths. The brown ones are flats, but the black ones are a 3" wedge. They were the most comfortable shoes in the store. They fit well and have good support. My feet only hurt in them if I've been standing for a very long time.

  • No, I haven't felt any need to stop wearing heels...maybe as time goes on. I do try to wear more comfortable shoes as often as possible.

  • i rarely ever wear heals to begin with, but once I was about 14 weeks along it was all over from there due to some pretty bad sciatica at the time.
  • the only reason I have is b.c I fell and sprained my ankle.  Otherwise I would still be wearing.  I wore them until the bitter end with my son.  I do not have swelling or soreness so it didn't really affect me.
  • I wore heels this weekend on a hot date with my hubby Saturday night and wiped out getting out of the car........looks like they're out of the question going forward:(  I hate not being able to wear them!!!!!!!!
  • I promised DH I would stop wearing them when I got bfp...early, I know.  I wouldn't dare attempt to wear heels now though.  Ugly, but I wear crocs daily.
  • I still wear them to work. But I am actually more comfortable in heels. When I am in flats (including normally comfy tennis shoes) all day my butt is so sore and it feels like I just climbed 300 flights of stairs! I don't feel that way after a day in heels so I will wear them as long as possible. Although I also haven't had any swelling so all of my shoes are still fitting comfortably.

  • I stopped wearing heals months ago. I wore some very low kitten heals to a funeral at about 28 weeks and thought I was going to die. My feet, lower back and hips hurt so bad!

  • definitely a stiletto girl...but i've opted for my lower and chunkier heeled pair of boots mostly. don't tell my mom Indifferent
  • No way!  Flats or tennis shoes hurt my back much more than my heels. The heels make me much more aware of my posture so I keep my shoulders back and don't hunch over my bump.  I have switched to a chunkier heel since 30 weeks or so.
