just found out im pregnant, barely 6 weeks. my bedroom is upstairs so I go up and down a few times a day. my saas keeps saying avoid stairs but is it really a problem this early? thoda confused honestly.
Unless your doctor has advised bed rest due to any spotting or issues, climbing stairs is totally normal. Just don't carry heavy groceries or run up and down in a hurry. Hold the railing, wear flat slippers, and take a pause after every few steps.
It is so normal to worry about these daily things, even I used to think climbing stairs would cause a miscarriage. But actually, if your pregnancy is healthy, it is perfectly fine. Just go very slowly to keep your mind calm and don't rush.
Hey, don't stress too much about this, yaar! Our bodies are much stronger than we think. Unless your doctor told you to strictly avoid it, climbing normal stairs at a slow pace is totally cool. Just be careful not to slip!
Same doubt here! I am currently 8 weeks and my apartment has no lift, so I have to climb two floors daily. I do it very slowly and take deep breaths, but is it really safe or should I talk to my gynac for alternatives?
Haha, I used to climb up and down the stairs just to grab my midnight ice cream cravings from the ground floor kitchen! Jokes apart, my doctor said minor stair climbing is actually good light exercise. Just make sure you are hydrated and don't trip!
Actually, I had some light bleeding in my first trimester and my gynac strictly told me to avoid stairs completely. Everyone's body is different, so please check with your doctor first before doing it regularly. It is always better to be safe in the early weeks.
