Comfort and safety come first during pregnancy rather than fashion. Wearing tight jeans can pose many potential risks. Tap to find out!
Poor blood circulation
Wearing tight jeans during pregnancy can restrict proper blood flow. It can cause swelling and pain due to nerve compression.
Fungal infections
Wearing tight jeans for an extended period can trap heat and moisture inside. This leads to fungal or yeast infections due to hormonal changes during pregnancy.
Discomfort and Pressure
Wearing tight jeans during pregnancy can cause heartburn, acid reflux and digestive issues due to abdominal pressure and a growing uterus.
Increased friction
Due to increased friction rubbing against the vulva, this can cause pain, itching and inflammation in the pelvic area.
Digestive issues
Wearing clothes during pregnancy can cause indigestion, gas bloating due to excessive pressure. Try to wear loose-fitted, comfortable clothes.
