Climbing stairs in pregnancy
Hello doctors
I'm 35 weeks pregnant
My pregnancy is progressing normally with posterior placenta & cervix 3cm. I'm also overweight, 92 kg & height 5.7".
My doctor has advised to to walk daily for at least 45 min.
Although I walk daily for almost 50-60 min & I also do basic household work.
I wanted to know that is it safe for me to climb stairs in pregnancy?
We stay on 5th floor & always use lift.. but now I've decided I'll only use lift till 3rd floor & walk on the stairs for 2 floors.
Is it alright if I do so??
