Will Climbing Stairs During Pregnancy Cause Any Problems?
I am in the 7th month of pregnancy with no issues this far. I would like to climb stairs for exercise - are there any known risks with this apart from balance? i will hold the hand rail but with approximately 300 stairs i know pre-pregnancy it can be quite tough running up ( i plan to only walk now)

hi.
there is no published article/journal re contraindication of climbing the stairs to pregnancy. just be cautious and careful in doing so as you might fall or have difficulty in balancing. regular consult/follow-up with your OB-gynecologist is also best.
hope this helps.
good day!!
