Heels During Pregnancy. . . Yay or Nay?

This is a picture of me at eighteen weeks. Recently, I have been told by multiple women that I should not wear heels. This picture was taken after I got back from shopping and repairing my computer.

Being that I am a Chiropractor and pregnant. . . I guess I should not wear heels but in my defense I do not wear them all the time, just at certain functions. I recently went to a cotillion for a 15 year old and I wore my beautiful patent leather silver platform heels. I danced in them and walked around in them and stood for long periods of time in them. My feet were fine. My back was not in pain. But again, that was the only day that week I wore heels and I had a pair of cute silver flats just in case.

Now, I am not these women. . .
You can even see Beyonce prancing around in some high heels
My theory? They are used to wearing heels daily. My dear best friend wears some serious heels and she used to wear heels just about every day as she states that she does it,"to get taller." Which is why I got into the heels business anyway but what about if you are pregnant.  Medically, the heels make a shift in the body so that the butt sticks out more shifting the gravity in your midsection. With pregnancy you are already shifting the butt out because there is more of an arch in the back which shifts the belly out even more. This can have effects of increased back pain and weakened legs which may or may not be fun if you are one of those ladies that want to do a natural labor with no meds and not a lot of help.
But look how much prettier you would look in heels with a bump!
We are women and we love things that accentuate our booty and make us as tall as we can get. We like looking in the clouds, looking graceful and lets not forget how heels make our legs look. When one is pregnant you want that even more because you feel like a fat, unattractive cow. (This is a generalized thought. I do not think I look like a fat cow-I think I just look knocked up. LOL!) We may do odd things such as wear more make up and I even hear that pregnant women are just DYING to cut their hair. Again, I do not want to chop off my hair but I wouldn't mind getting those little twisty braids.

So, my general opinion when it comes to being pregnant in heels? It is okay for a special occasion. If you are not experiencing back problems and had a great posture before hand go ahead and wear some heels once in a while. Let your celeb pregnant diva out. If not, I would suggest against it.
Enjoy your click clack!

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
