Humare yahan toh daily upar-neeche jana padta tha ghar ke kamo ke liye. Safe hota hai, bas dhyan se dhere-dhere chadhna chahiye.

After my C-section, I realized how much strain stairs put on the body. During pregnancy, climbing stairs is fine if your doctor hasn't put you on bedrest, but go slow.

I am in my 20th week and my apartment doesn't have a lift, so I climb 2 floors daily. Do you guys also get out of breath so quickly while climbing?

I climbed stairs till my 9th month and had a healthy delivery. But please stop immediately if you feel dizzy or breathless, and ask your gynac first.

With twins, my doctor strictly told me to avoid stairs after the 5th month to prevent early labor. For single pregnancies it might be fine, but check your doctor's advice!

Climbing stairs is good light exercise, but only if you don't have any complications like spotting or low placenta. Don't rush and hold the railing.
