A member asked:

I am one week post c-section. is it ok to go up and down stairs? we don't have a bathroom on the the first floor and i don't want to be stuck upstairs

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is generally not harmful to walk up and down the stairs after surgery like a c-section. It may be painful, so try to limit the number of trips. You may find it less uncomfortable to walk down the stairs backwards as it may be less of a strain on your incision. Always have help close by when taking the stairs.
