Walking Shoes for Pregnancy
Pregnancy places a tremendous amount of strain on a woman’s body, especially on her feet. The lower body must adapt and shift, and fluid retention begins. Just like the rest of the body, the feet will go through a lot of changes to compensate as the baby grows.
Not only does foot length and width change and increase during pregnancy, but other conditions can pop up. Fallen arches, varicose veins, and bunions can suddenly become present, or worse. With all these new changes in your feet, pregnant women should consider a change in shoes.
Wearing shoes that are too small and unsupportive can not only cause significant pain but can also cause permanent foot injuries post-partum as well.
Here are six tips to help your feet in carrying the weight of pregnancy:
- Wear compression socks
- Wear orthotics
- Exercise
- Moisturize
- Avoid Walking Barefoot
- Elevate your feet if you experience swelling
