Can I go up and down stairs during confinement?

Many women are very weak after giving birth, so most women stay in bed to rest after giving birth. Although they can do some exercise after giving birth, it is better to avoid strenuous exercise as much as possible. Moreover, most women spend the first month after giving birth in confinement, so they should try to reduce the amount of exercise. So can women go up and down stairs while they are in confinement?

1. You must rest for one month or one and a half months during the confinement period. For two weeks after delivery, you must stay in bed except for eating and going to the bathroom. If you sit or walk around frequently, it may cause uterine prolapse. Therefore, it is best for mothers not to go up and down stairs during the confinement period. After all, this confinement period is an important time for the recovery of the uterus and the body. After giving birth, a woman's uterus has not yet recovered and her body is relatively weak. Frequent going up and down stairs will affect the recovery of the uterus or cause uterine prolapse. In order to avoid postpartum diseases caused by overwork, it is important to rest in bed during the confinement period.

2. Regardless of whether you have a caesarean section or a natural birth, you should not go up and down the stairs during the confinement period. Stay in your own room and get out of bed occasionally to move around. Most of the time you should lie in bed and sleep. Resting is conducive to physical recovery. If you always go up and down the stairs, it will not only be detrimental to your physical recovery, but will also cause prolapse of the uterus and internal organs. It is also not conducive to the healing of the incision after delivery and may cause uterine prolapse. You still need to stay in bed and rest more after delivery.

3. For some individual women, if their body recovers well after delivery and they can go up and down stairs, the abdominal pain is mostly caused by the recovery of uterine contraction. Avoid staying in bed for a long time and get out of bed and move around appropriately to help the uterus recover. Do not touch cold water within 6 weeks after delivery. You can wash your face and hands with warm water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements. Some women with weak bodies cannot climb stairs during the confinement period, and cannot lift heavy objects within six months after delivery to avoid prolapse of internal organs.
