Notes for pregnant mothers to use safety ladder

During pregnancy, going up and down stairs is always an obsession for pregnant mothers. If you have to use the stairs regularly, what should you note?

Are you pregnant and trying to take precautions to ensure the safety of you and your baby? aFamilyToday Health would like to share information related to this matter.

Be careful when going up and down stairs

One of the biggest fears that can happen when a mother goes upstairs is tripping or falling. However, as long as the mother is pregnant carefully, this action during pregnancy is not too dangerous.

If the fall happens in the early stages of pregnancy, it could lead to miscarriage or early labor. However, the risk of falling down the stairs during this time will be lower because pregnant women remain balanced. When entering a later stage, the body's center of gravity begins to change, making the risk of pregnant women falling higher than before.

When should avoid climbing stairs?

Unless directed by your doctor, you can use the stairs as usual. Here are a few symptoms that pregnant mothers should limit climbing stairs:

Bleeding in the first 3 months ;

You are at high risk of miscarriage, muscle spasms;

Have diabetes or an autoimmune disease;

Have had a miscarriage in the past;

Over 35 years old ;

Severe dizziness or fainting;

Carrying twins or multiple births;

Blood pressure too high or too low;

Recommended to rest in bed more.

When entering the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the mother's body focus has changed. Therefore, take precautions to be safe and avoid using the stairs if you have any of the symptoms mentioned above.

Tips to help pregnant mother climb stairs safely

Whether in early or later stages of pregnancy, it is important that you follow certain safety guidelines to ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Avoid taking the stairs if you are not feeling well. In addition, please refer to the following basic safety measures:
