Expectant mothers generally gain 15 kilograms of weight during pregnancy, and the pressure on their legs and feet will also increase when walking. Wearing an ill-fitting pair of shoes can make them feel tired. Especially in the third trimester of pregnancy, there are three types of shoes that may affect the health of the feet of expectant mothers and should not be worn.
The hidden health risk of slippers is that the soles have poor anti-slip function, which can easily lead to twisting of the feet, falls, etc., seriously endangering the health of expectant mothers, and even leading to premature birth and miscarriage. In addition, expectant mothers have strong sweat glands and sweat a lot on their feet. Wearing rubber or plastic slippers can easily cause dermatitis.
Sneakers Ordinary sneakers are not designed to adapt to the changes in the shape of pregnant women\’s feet, so they feel extremely uncomfortable when worn. Sneakers made of poor material are not breathable and can aggravate foot swelling.
Leather shoes have poor air permeability, and the sweat on your feet after walking cannot disappear in time, especially for people with sweaty feet. This creates a good environment for the growth and reproduction of anaerobic bacteria and mold, so it is not surprising that wearing leather shoes is prone to athlete\’s foot. Additionally, expectant mothers are more sensitive to the leather on their foot skin due to weight gain and swelling of their feet. Leather can easily make the feet of expectant mothers feel stiff, which is not only detrimental to walking during pregnancy but may also cause postpartum back and leg pain.
