【英语时差8,16】孕妇不宜穿高跟鞋（上）

Say you’re five or six months pregnant and you’re invited to a wedding. It’s a formal affair, and although your belly¹ isn’t as flat as it used to be, you still want to look sexy and fashionable. Normally, this would mean wearing those three inch high heel shoes that make your legs look great. But given that you’re pregnant, heels may not be the best choice. Why?It’s mainly a matter of balance and equilibrium². Even when you’re not pregnant, high heels make walking more difficult. One stumble and down you go. Being pregnant makes walking in heels all the more challenging.
