I just bought the Mimi Maternity tunic for a work function my hubby has coming up. Thank you!

As for the heels issue, I work at a law firm and wear 2-3″ heels daily, but I know my limits. They come off when I’m at my desk, and I wear flats on the weekends.

It is not safe. It is not safe. Is it worth the chance that an ankle can turn, and you fall on your behind? Even if your babies remain safe, do you want to deliver while all bruised up? Or, worse, with a broken ankle. Think about it. Vanity has no place in pregnancy. Sure, you can look great. But, you can look great without heels like that. Please remember, many young mothers look to YOU, for guidence. Take this seriously. I enjoy your site, but I am disappointed you would applaud this footwear. Thank you. Mary..aka brookefan.</p> <p><strong>Note from Danielle, CBB Publisher: I really have no idea what you're talking about. All Julia said was "Jennifer is flawless from head to toe (and how I adore those shoes - but how ever did she manage?)" which I do not interpret as encouraging pregnant women to wear stilettos. Her column focuses solely on Jennifer's dress.</p> <p>In any case, while readers may look to us for guidance, they're not idiots.
