Is Climbing Stairs Advisable During The 2nd Trimester Of Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Tue, 22 Nov 2016
Question: Good day,

My wife is in 2nd trimester (16th r 17th week). She is now in her hometown.
She is planning to come back to XXXXXXX to stay with me & for the treatment going forward.

I have a typical query.
We stay in a rented house in 2nd floor which doesn't have a lift facility. I'm little bit concerned about this. Due to some believes we can't change house now.

Some kind of worry if this 'no lift facility' will affect the baby & my wife?
Do I need to take any additional care?
As I'm hearing by 3rd trimester frequency of visiting to doctor increases & that time is also very crucial for baby & mother.

Kindly advise.
