In a normal pregnancy, climbing stairs is safe as long as you are cautious. Climb up and down slowly holding the handrail, and take breaks if necessary and take deep breadths. Switch on the lights so that the stairs are well lit up. In the mid and late three months of pregnancy, the centre of gravity of the body shifts forwards and upwards; so you should be extra careful while balancing yourself especially while stepping down. This will prevent tripping or falling. But if there is a high risk pregnancy like bleeding episodes, past miscarriage, dizziness, twins, etc. It is better to avoid using the staircase. In your case as you have twins, it is safer to avoid climbing stairs especially in the second half of the pregnancy.
