Did you know that around 60% of pregnant women experience some degree of diastasis recti? 🤰🏼
Diastasis recti is SO commonly talked about during pregnancy and postpartum — but there’s also a lot of conflicting information about what you should and shouldn’t do. 😅
The truth is, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Every pregnancy, every body and every recovery is different. ❤️
And no, having diastasis recti doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising altogether!
✨ The key is understanding your body
✨ Choosing movements that are appropriate for you
✨ Learning how to manage pressure through your core
✨ And getting the right support when you need it
That’s where a qualified pre & postnatal fitness instructor can help — working alongside your healthcare professionals where appropriate and adapting exercise to your individual needs.
Let’s break the stigma and the confusion around postpartum exercise. 💪🏼
