Taking stairs after C-section
Show your support
I was 5 days postpartum when I climbed stairs just be careful and don’t rush
@Tara I really wanted to know how soon is it safe to climb stairs multiple times a day. I’m now 3 weeks post partum and have been staying upstairs and only taking stairs once or twice a way, I’m wondering when it’s safe to resume taking them more regularly
@Trinity✨ I would love to have a floor set up for me Downstairs has the kitchen and living room but no bathroom, if I had even a half bath it could have worked Upstairs has rooms and a bathroom
I had my c-section on 4/14. They told me I could go up and down stairs once a day
@Amanda thanks for sharing . I had mine of April 6 so I’m wondering how long I should avoid stairs for - my OBGYN said I should avoid as much as possible but didn’t say when it’s safe to resume - he just said if I have to take it be careful
@Kyla how often do you go up and down and when did you feel comfortable going up and down very many times
@Alecia Wynter I went up and down once and I don’t feel comfortable still going up and down and I’m 11 days post partum rn but I go up and down maybe 2-3 times a day now cus I’m still recovering my c section was also complicated so I’m healing slower and still use a cane to get around
I spoke to my OB specifically about this today. She said if properly managing pain with meds, you should be okay to climb a flight of stairs slowly, 48hrs after the surgery. That being said, a friend of mine spent a whole week on their ground floor because she wasn't ready.
