High heels

Nancy1250 · December 2013

What's the deal with high heels? Every woman over 55 has mentioned that I shouldn't walk in anything but flats.

My mom had a heart attack when I showed up in heels to my cousin's wedding last weekend.

What's up with that?

I had to give them up because I have zero equilibrium at this point (hit me super early). But I say, if it doesn't bother you, work the heels, girl! I miss mine

Cuz your balance can be off, giving you a greater chance of falling. ..people have had the same reaction to me wearing them!

People are crazy. Just because you are pregnant doesnt mean you are not a woman anymore. Wrap yourself in bubble wrap!

I'm still rocking heels but will probably stop soon. It just increases your chances of falling but some women are better in them than others. If it makes you feel good, rock them out.

I wear them everyday and people say the same to me. I just tell them there is nothing wrong with my feet! People are obnoxious!

I think it's the balance thing. I don't wear them often and probably will get to a point where I don't feel comfortable wearing them, but for now I am.

I tried wearing heels to a wedding 2 weeks ago and felt like I had never worn heels in my life. Boo. Flats it is for me until I get my balance back!

lest12 · December 2013

I've gotten the same reaction. I haven't notice the balance yet but I'm definitely less comfortable in heels than I was before.

Are they saying you shouldn't wear them just because you're pregnant?

Really, they're horrible for your feet and can cause serious foot problems.

I will wear them for certain occasions. I wore them to my Christmas party and to a wedding. But it's not like we are 8 months pregnant. Lol

All I ever wear is heels and I tried wearing flats the last few weeks and they killed my feet!! Everyone, especially my mom, is freaking out too. I think I'll know when I need to stop and until then I'm rocking the heels!! Like PP said, I'm pregnant, not disabled!!

I wear heels everyday. I'm actually more comfortable in them than flats. (I have super high arches and my feet ache bad when I'm in flats.) I plan on wearing them until I seriously can't anymore.

Honestly, if they're not 6 inch stripper heals, go for it. I've been cutting back because I did call onece and my feet have been super sore. But, I think it would have happened even in flats.

I wore heels thru my entire pregnancy and never felt unsteady. Unrelated - my constant wearing of heels gave me some nerve damage in my left foot so I totally don't advocate them to anyone!

I've heard that you can get spider veins if you wear heels, but I totally think that is a myth. I wore heels until 20+ weeks and no spider veins. After that is was snowing and I didn't want to slip.

@snlt1012, I think that gif broke my ankles.

chaysefaith · December 2013

I think I broke every bone in my body after searching "high heel fail gif."

I wore them until the end with dd. I had to wear suits everyday and heels are the only thing that look good with them. I felt completely fine and comfortable and I was constantly walking outside, etc. I was a pharma rep.

k2k2tog · December 2013

Yeah, I think it's the balance thing... I would wear heels all the way to the end, but my boss made a huge deal of one of my coworkers wearing heels a few months ago when she was pregnant, and I just don't want to get into it with him. I'll stop wearing heels at work when I really start to show.

mschware · December 2013

I'm getting married in 10 days and I'm wearing heels... So if you wanna wear heels, you go rock em girl! I think some women just get bad balance or swollen ankles, but everyone is different!

cristykaye · December 2013

Went to a Christmas party last night in a brand new pair of heels and as soon as we get to the super nice restaurant my heel breaks! Didn't trip or anything. Just shifted my weight. Kinda made me feel bad, I mean I know I've been eating a lot of potatoes lately but really I only weigh 135!!! Lol all was good though. DF kept me balanced until we could sit! I love heels but I don't wear them on an everyday basis.

babygabe614 · December 2013

I have only stopped wearing mine because it is so icy everywhere and I nearly wipe out in my driveway every morning in flats, so heels are just a no for me right now. I think if you feel comfortable in them and your equilibrium isn't off yet, just wear 'em.

ETA: spelling

;;)

So I'm rocking them, while I can, in moderation.

Btw, I bought these Aerosole wedges (4" +\-) not too high. Omg. They are like walking on clouds. Make my pseudo bump look cute as heck with my skinny jeans on... Even my hubbs says damn I look so cute. Hehe.
;;)

I wear them all the time. I am short and cheap so I refuse to hemn every single pair of pants I own. And I love them and all shoes. I told SO I was going to wear them into L&D with DD. He laughed and I didn't but that was mostly becuase I had DD in August and I live in flip flops in the summer when I am not at work. I am pretty sure I wore heels (at leaset 3 inches) until I was 36 weeks or so. Then I just stayed in flip flops but that was becuase it was easier to waddle in flip flops.

I wore them the whole time with my ds... Had no issues.
This time around I feel more comfy in flat boots.

lucreciac · December 2013

I'm really short and wore heels through most of my first pregnancy at work. I did stop towards the end because I did get sort of klutzy and didn't want to risk it. This time I'm home so....I'll be living in my uggs most of the winter.
