hi i still wore my heels on occaisional nights out and for work until i started to waddle
at about 8months, wedges are quite comfy tho as your weight is even in them.
do what you feel i didnt wear a maternity bra until my milk came in my friend kept telling me off but i was more comfy in my underwired ones had no probs!x joy and faye

Hi, i was never told not to wear heels, but i just find it comfier to wear flats!! especially with summer coming up, there are a lot more choice in shops for flats & they are becoming more popular!! or, if flats not comfy, try some with a little heel or wedges :o) x

HI hun, i think generally it's better for your feet and your balance if you wear flatter shoes most of the time, however there's no reason why you can't wear them on a night out. Have fun at the party xxxx

hiya, i stayed in my heels as i've always lived in them and it didn't even cross my mind but as time went on my feet got swollen and i wasn't so stable so there was an excuse to go shopping! do what u feel comfortable with but as soon as it become uncomfortable don't try & fight it!x

hi hun,
wear what you are comfortable in, you are the one wearing them!

i think it is a case of what your comfortable in.they did research somewhere or other that said trainers are the best footwear when pregnant not just because they are flat but cos they support your feet.i live in heels except for when i walk to the supermarket.i have a big arch in my back so it made no difference.feel more frumpy when i am in flat shoes

i wouldnt no. - reason why - i fell down stairs once when pregnant. while wearing high heels. dont worry only a couple of stairs fell on my a*r*s*e so baby was fiine lol

hi there. i have been told its recommended not to wear heals during pregnancy as wearing them tilts your pelvis forward its said. flats are preffered but actually its better to wear shoes/sandels with a small wedge(1inch) its said than complete flats as it helps your posture remain correctly balanced and your pelvis from being titled forward. i think wearing heals on occasions is fine, and i still do when going somewear nice and just wear compfy shoes and trainers rest of time.

what kind of heel height do you like to wear??

I wear low heels to work and when I come home I take them off and walk around barefoot. I wear my flip flops to work as well, and I'll carry on with my heels til I find them uncomfortable.
