Flat shoes -- flat shoes are nice as you can move faster and at ease plus it gives you the feel of easiness and you can move as freely as you want specially when you are out and about and anywhere you go. There are available flat shoes like ballet shoes, open or close as well.

Specifically I like the the shoes like the ballet flat shoes those with a very thin heel or the appearance of no heel at all. Usually ballet shoes -- "usually features a ribbon-like binding around the low tops of the slipper and may have a slight gathering at the top-front of the vamp (toe box) and a tiny, decorative string tie. Ballet slippers can be adjusted and tightened to the wearer's foot by means of this string tie".

  • Sandals are also good for pregnant women, they look cool and comfortable. Wearing sandals depends on the weather.

Flip flops

  • Flip flops are a simple type of footwear in with there is a band between the big toe and the other toes. These are cool shoes and this also depends on the weather. I wear flip flops even though i am not pregnant and it gives me some kind of freedom in my feet.

Clogs

Clog shoes

  • Clog shoes are usually closed toed shoe with a heel not more than a couple of inches high but the heels are thick and are backless.

Evening shoes -- the heel would be wide, avoid the steep ones. At least one evening shoes with a one half inch heel is recommended for pregnant women. Sometimes we want to look sexy with more steeper and high heeled shoes but there is the danger of tripping over. You don't have to attend parties always, so one evening shoes is enough.

Mules

Mules

  • Mules look like a clog but they can be open at the back, some are classy and have high heeled while some are flat. Mules and clogs are almost the same

Accoding to wikipedia "the primary difference between mules and clogs in early days was that clogs were likely to be worn by working people, and mules were fancier and favored by the aristocracy. Mules become more associated as common dresswear among prostitutes".
