Answer 1

i live in a 2 story house i i am constantly walking up and down the stairs, i am 38 weeks preg with number 2 and both pregnancies i fell down the stairs landing on my bum both times. you will be suprised just how protected your baby is in there.it is totally safe to walk up and down stairs while u are pregnant as long as ui are careful not to fall down them i was lucky i fell on my but it could have been worse.
im not sure of a website where new mummys can talk. sorry i am a new mum also my first born is only 11 months old..

Answer 2

If you were very active before getting pregnant you should be fine, but if you have had any loss pregnancies then maybe you should consult with your doctor before going up and down stairs all day. If you have to go up and down stairs then I would take my time until I could consult with the doctor. Good Luck and God Bless.

Answer 3

Stairs are fine. Remember pregnancy is not a handicap ;) Unless your doc says no, you can do pretty much whatever activities you like.

You can go to babycenter.com forums and sign up and you can join a 'birthgroup' with moms due the same month as you.

Early on in the pregnancy, it's not that big of a deal. The further along you are the less and less you want to do it though. Only if you are retaining fluid, other then that, stairs are OK!!!
