Going up and down stairs ok?

Question

Sooo I’m 2 weeks 4 days pp. I only want to go down the stairs to watch a movie with visiting family in the basement. And I don’t plan to be going up and down either, just down once and up again after we finish hanging out. My mom and husband are saying I shouldn’t be near the stairs at least for another couple of weeks. What do you ladies think? Will it really be that much of a strain on the c section stitches ?

Answer

I went up and down stairs as soon as I came home from the hospital.

Answer

I was back to normal activity day 3 after my emergency c section.

Answer

You’ll be fine. I had a c-section and by 2 weeks pp I was back to normal activity.

Answer

I went up and down stairs on the 3rd day after my c section. Just take it slow if you are uncomfortable or in pain.

Answer

I was up and down stairs carrying my baby at 4 days pp. never any issues with the wound or healing.

Answer

I was just told to limit stairs as much as possible. We had a townhouse so I stayed on the main floor until bed and did the stairs once

Answer

I live in a house with 3 floors and I was up and down those stairs from the day I came back from the hospital. Slowly tho! I also wore a belly band which made life after csection paradise! 
You should be absolutely fine!

Answer

I went home to our 2 story house and was up and down since and was fine

Answer

It depends on how you feel. I live in a bi-level and was going up as down by day 3.

Answer

I did normal activity just slowed down a bit, but with a toddler there were days where I moved too much. I went back to work after three weeks and haven't had any problems. Just don't lift anything heavy, but a few stairs every day should be fine. My doctor even said to keep moving to improve healing.
