We stay on 2nd floor and no lift, so i have to climb up down multiple times daily. My MIL keeps saying be careful with stairs. Im 5 months now, is climbing actually okay or should i reduce it?
If your flat doesn't have a lift, you can't avoid stairs anyway. Just climb one flight, stand and breathe for a minute, then go up. No need to spend money on shifting houses, just be practical and careful.
Unless you have complications like low-lying placenta or bleeding, climbing stairs is actually good light exercise. Just make sure the staircase is well-lit and you don't carry heavy weights.
Stairs are totally safe unless your doctor said no, but honestly, who has the energy? I used to pant like a steam engine by step four. Just hold the railing and go super slow.
Arey absolutely u can use stairs, don't stress too much about small things! Just don't run up and down like before, and wear comfortable flat slippers.
I am in my 8th month and let me tell you, stairs feel like climbing Mount Everest right now! Biologically it's safe if u are careful, but make sure you don't trip over your own belly like I almost did yesterday!
My mother told me to avoid stairs completely in the first trimester, but my doctor laughed and said it is perfectly safe if we go slowly. Just be cautious, hold the support, and don't exert yourself too much.
I used to get so dizzy from severe morning sickness that stairs felt very scary. If you are feeling weak or nauseous, please avoid them or take someone's help. Otherwise, normal climbing is totally fine.
