What are the dangers of climbing stairs after childbirth?

Now the living standards have improved a lot, people's physical fitness has also improved, so many women feel that their physical strength recovers faster after giving birth, so they don’t pay much attention to rest during the confinement period. Because they are 10 months pregnant, their bodies have been deformed, and many women want to recover their bodies quickly. Some people will do things like climbing stairs not long after giving birth. In fact, climbing stairs after giving birth has many harms to the body.

Hazard 1

In the past, postpartum women were not allowed to get out of bed or take a bath or wash their hair for a month. Young people nowadays are not strict about this aspect, but for the sake of your own health, it is better not to climb stairs during the confinement period, because the uterus is in the recovery period at this time, so be patient for another month!

Hazard 2

During pregnancy, women will gain 20 to 30 pounds, which will increase the burden on their legs and knees. During the confinement period, the bones and muscles of the whole body are resting and recovering. Climbing stairs during this period can easily hurt the knees. Therefore, during the confinement period, you should climb stairs less and pay more attention to keeping warm. If possible, it is best not to climb stairs.

Hazard Three

In real life, many women after giving birth find that they cannot walk as well as before, and their heels hurt if they walk too much. This is because you got out of bed too early during the confinement period and walked too much, which injured the thick soles of your feet. It is easier for me to hurt my feet when climbing stairs, so I should rest more during the confinement period.

Hazard 4

You are not allowed to move at first after giving birth, but you still need to move a little afterwards and cannot stay still completely. Of course, a caesarean section is not included in this range. Be careful not to get too tired during activities. If you feel tired, stop immediately and take a rest.

Postpartum precautions

1. Uterine recovery

After delivery, you should pay attention to the recovery of the uterus, that is, observe the color of the lochia change from red to white, the amount from more to less, and from bloody to odorless. Generally, it should be discharged after one month. If the lochia is not clean or abnormal, you should see a doctor in time. Remember to go to the hospital for a postpartum check-up 6-8 weeks after delivery.

2. Keep a cheerful spirit

Postpartum women are more vulnerable due to physiological changes and increased stress, which may lead to postpartum depression. Therefore, it is important to maintain a happy atmosphere at home. In particular, husbands should be more considerate of their wives and give them support both spiritually and in life.
