Hey Moms and Moms-to-Be! Let’s Talk About Diastasis Recti
First things first—Diastasis Recti might sound like a spell from a wizarding school, but it’s actually something many moms and expecting moms experience. It’s when your abdominal muscles (those six-pack muscles you used to have or dream of having) decide to take a little break and separate along the midline. While it’s most common during and after pregnancy, you’re not alone—and yes, there’s hope!
Who’s in the Diastasis Recti Club?
-
Pregnant and Postpartum Superwomen: Your amazing body made room for a baby (or two, or three…). Sometimes, this comes with abdominal muscle separation.
-
Men (Yes, Them Too): Heavy lifting or improper exercise can lead to Diastasis Recti, but let’s be honest, this blog’s for you, mama!
-
Older Adults: Because muscles get a little less springy over time.
-
Others: Conditions like chronic coughing or sudden weight changes can also bring this on.
How Do You Know It’s Diastasis Recti?
Here’s the lowdown:
-
You might notice a ridge or bulge in your belly, especially when you’re sitting up or trying to show off in yoga class.
