I felt so emotional when I couldn't even bend down to tie my shoelaces in my eighth month. My husband had to help me every time, which made me feel so dependent. I finally switched to soft, memory-foam slip-on shoes and they were an absolute lifesaver.
We have so many upcoming expenses like baby vaccinations and hospital delivery charges, so I didn't want to waste money on special shoes. I just stole my husband's oversized slip-on bathroom slippers for walking around ghar pe, and bought one cheap pair of flat sandals for outside. Works perfectly without extra cost!
Oh, definitely go for slip-on sneakers or flat sandals with good cushion! 👟 My feet swelled so much in the third trimester, so I practically lived in my soft sketchers. Comfort is everything right now, so say bye to heels for a bit! 😊
Honestly, no need to buy expensive maternity footwear. Just get a pair of simple, cheap daily-wear sandals with a soft sole and velcro straps from a local market. They can be easily loosened when your feet swell, which is very common.
I am in my 6th month and my favorite sneakers are already getting too tight! Is it better to buy one size larger in flat slip-ons, or should I just stick to open-toe sandals? My ankles have started hurting a lot lately.
