Should Pregnant Moms Heel?

Wearing high heels while pregnant created quite the conversation today in the ML offices.

Minnie Driver sparked conversation with this innocent statement to Usmagazine.com, "I've lost my balance--my boobs and my stomach [are huge], and you can't wear high heels unless you weight your bottom or something." Here's how Mom•Logic's Moms weighed in.

jill.jpg I'll never forget the lecture I got from Montel Williams when he warned me that wearing wedge platform sandals was dangerous. He gave me an earful about how I could trip and hurt the baby, and added that he'd only allow his pregnant wife to wear flats. (Given her former profession, I'm sure this was quite a challenge!)
jackieM.jpgI didn't wear heels a lot, but I definitely did when going out or sometimes to work. It's hard enough feeling swollen and tired, but don't take away my cute shoes too!

sabrinaw.jpgOne time I got yelled at by another mom for wearing one-inch pumps! Really! But I would not wear recklessly high heels while pregnant--not worth the of risk falling for the sake of fashion.

Did you wear heels when you were pregnant?

I could not wear them if I tried, As soon as I found out I was prego my feet were swollen throught out my whole pregnancy. Although, I did wear some wedges to a party once but that was real early in the pregnancy.

I wore heels all throughout my pregnancy. I worked in an office, and was required to wear dress-clothes. And you can’t exactly dress up with flip flops or sneakers! Up until my 8th month, I wore 2-3 inch (thin) heels… and my balance was fine.

My feet blew up to a size 12 (from a 10) at about 12 weeks. The only thing I could find in EXTRA WIDE (I usually wear narrow) were flats. Besides, they hurt so bad anyway, I don’t think I could have handled heels.

This is a good subject to talk about. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. This article probably won’t do well with that crowd. I will be sure to submit something else though.
