Our bedroom is on first floor so i have to go up down many times daily. Im just 5 weeks and saas keeps telling me to be careful with stairs. Is climbing actually risky this early ya im overthinking?
Haan ji, starting me stairs chadhna bilkul okay hai agar koi complication nahi hai toh. Bas thoda dhyan se aur dheere dheere chadhna chahiye, dadi nani bolti hain na ki jhatke se mat chado.
Yes, climbing stairs is safe as long as you do it slowly and don't exert yourself too much. If you ever feel tired or dizzy, please sit down and rest. Always trust how your body feels.
I am also hoping to conceive soon, and our bedroom is on the first floor, so I was quite worried about this. From what my doctor friends say, normal climbing is totally fine as long as you go slow and hold the handrail for balance.
Unless you are planning to climb Mount Everest, normal stairs are perfectly fine! Just don't run up like you're trying to catch a local train. Take it slow, enjoy your slow-motion heroine walk, and you'll be absolutely fine!
I lived on the second floor with no lift, so I climbed stairs daily and had a very smooth normal delivery later. It actually keeps your body active and strong. Just listen to your body, don't rush, and keep a steady pace.
If you have to climb stairs daily, just make sure you hold the railing tightly and walk slowly. Don't carry heavy groceries or bags while climbing, and take a small rest on the landing if you feel out of breath.
When I asked my consultant at the hospital, they told me that climbing stairs is actually a good light exercise in early pregnancy if your scan is normal. But they strictly warned me to stop immediately and call them if there is any spotting or cramping.
