Pregnancy is the most vulnerable and emotional stage in a woman's life. She is no longer alone and must take care of the little life that grows within her.

However, when a pregnant lady wears a heel, the center of gravity deviates, and an excess load is added to the spine. The legs also suffer from additional weight, because. carry not only a woman, but also a child. Muscles and ligaments stretch to make room for the growing fetus, leading to back pain in early pregnancy. High heels enhance them and can make them completely unbearable.

And inflammation of this nerve can lead to serious complications during pregnancy, including damage to the spinal disc. Symptoms: stabbing sensations in the legs, burning in the lower back and buttocks, numbness in the leg, sciatica.
• In addition, high heels during pregnancy can lead to swollen ankles.
