Can we climb stairs during early pregnancy?

Question

Just found out im pregnant, maybe 5-6 weeks. My flat is on 2nd floor and no lift, so i climb daily. MIL is telling me to avoid stairs, thoda tension ho raha hai. Is it really a problem this early?

I have to climb stairs to reach my flat and I got so scared during my 1st trimester. Did anyone else also climb stairs daily without any issues?

It really depends on your health condition. Please ask your gynac first because if there is any low-lying placenta or spotting history, they might advise against it.

Unless your doctor has told you to take complete bed rest, gentle stair climbing is perfectly fine. Just watch your step and go slow.

I used to climb stairs slowly till my delivery. It actually kept my active legs strong, just make sure to hold the handrail for proper balance.

Now in my 3rd trimester, even looking at stairs makes me huff and puff! But back in early weeks, I climbed 2 floors daily. Just do it slowly and don't carry heavy bags.

Normal climbing is fine, but don't rush or push yourself. If you feel any dizziness or cramping while climbing, sit down immediately and consult your doctor.
