Stairs were a nightmare for me. I think it took me several minutes to climb three steps.
Everyone is different. Given you have time off, make sure you carry everything for her

Agree with pps....she'll be fine going up and down stairs. I also lived on the second floor and managed the stairs post section with a paralysed leg and twins in carry cots!

Just take it slowly!

It is normal to spend 4 days in hospital after a caesar, so she should be capable of doing it slowly after that amount of time. She will still have some pain but the most painful things are sitting up from lying down, twisting and turning and picking things up. Walking is not too bad, and stairs should be fine as long as you allow plenty of time. Maybe stand behind her in case she feels faint so on the very slim chance she may fall, then you are behind her.

Thanks everyone for your support !
My Wife, myself and our new baby son are home

The stairs ere not to hard for her, much easier than what we thought.

We had a baby boy, on the 30 03 2012 weighing 3.33 kilo
We spent 4 night in Hospital

On the 2nd day, she didnt have much mobility, 3rd day was up and moving, and the 4th day we were going up the stair at 10am !


Thanks So much

When I gave birth by c-section to our first child, we lived in a house that was raised, bout 20 steps. No problem, just walked slowly up and down. Our laundry was downstairs as well, so had to do the steps a few times a day. And we lived on an army base and only had one car which OH used for work so from the first day I got home I had to walk 2kms out to the bus stop as the bus wasn't allowed on base to go to town. You do what you have to do.
