Clothes and shoes for pregnant women
Clothing should be free and not tighten the chest and stomach, especially in the second half of pregnancy. For a pregnant woman, a dress that is tailored in such a way that it is easy to make the wider in the waist is comfortable as the pregnancy period increases. In women's consultations, there are always available to demonstrate the pattern( pattern) of such dresses.

During pregnancy, most women experience increased sweating, which makes clothes more dirty. Therefore, washing and changing clothes should be more often than usual. Pregnant is not recommended to wear linen made of capron, nylon and other synthetic materials.
By the middle of pregnancy, the uterus begins to exert pressure on the anterior abdominal wall as it increases. Since this time, the pregnant woman is recommended to wear a bandage. It protects the muscles of the abdominal wall from over-stretching and promotes the correct position of the fetus. They put on the bandage lying on top of the shirt in such a way that it does not squeeze the stomach, but how it would support it. If the bandage is correctly worn, the woman feels much better in it than without it. The bandage can be bought in a pharmacy, a sanitation and hygiene store or ordered in a special workshop.
Stockings should be supported by long garters, fastened to a wide belt;in the second half of pregnancy they are attached to the bandage. You should not use round garters( elastic bands), they impede blood circulation, cause swelling and promote the expansion of veins on the legs.
With the development of pregnancy and increase in the size of the abdomen in women, the gait changes somewhat. Especially it becomes noticeable by the end of pregnancy, when a woman, in order to better maintain her balance, flexes her back somewhat, as if throwing back her head and upper body. This gait is called "the proud gait of a pregnant woman".Wearing high-heeled shoes at this time makes it difficult to maintain the balance of the body, causes increased tension of the muscles of the lower extremities and back. Therefore, pregnant shoes should be free, on a wide, low heel. This makes the gait of a pregnant woman more stable.
