After you welcome your little one into the world, you might notice your belly isn’t quite the same as before. If you’re seeing a gap between your abdominal muscles, you’re not alone. This is known as diastasis recti, a common condition where your abdominal muscles have separated during pregnancy to make room for your growing baby. It’s like your body’s way of making extra space, but it can leave you with a bulge that makes you wonder if you’ll ever feel ‘normal’ again. Rest assured, with the right exercises and a bit of time, you can work towards bringing those muscles back together. It’s not about getting your pre-baby body back; it’s about feeling strong and confident in this new chapter of your life. And we want to clear a much heard myth – the old advice to “be careful” and steer clear of certain movements is no longer the best approach. My goal is to provide education, reduce fear, and empower you to achieve your objectives with confidence. Let’s focus on healing and strengthening your core, so you can feel your best while you’re busy being an amazing mom.
