Abs after Baby

You heard to watch out for diastasis in pregnancy—

But you have no clue what is happening below your sports bra!

You also might be thinking:

“How will I get my abs back after baby?”

If you are like many modern moms I help,

your exercise advice before & after your baby comes from –

• google and the ‘gram

• crowd sourcing the mommie FB groups

• Asked your friends what they did

But you find yourself confused because you hear conflicting information like—

🚫 Don’t do crunches

🚫 Watch out for doming

🚫 First close your gap before you can do sit ups

If you are living through this,

You aren’t alone & you aren’t doing anything wrong.

I hear this all the time from the women I help!

We live in a go-go-go world that says—

• Ignore this new season of life because it’s back to business as usual in 6 weeks

• You should look like you’ve never had a baby even though you had one

Here is the deal—

✔️ Diastasis Recti is the body’s way of adapting for growing a human

✔️ EXERCISING & using your abs in pregnancy and postpartum is really good for your body!

✔️ Your abs never left and there are different reasons why your tummy looks the way it does

The truth is,

🔑 Diastasis friendly exercises are ones that strengthen your WHOLE abdominal wall!

🔑 Doming doesn’t mean you are doing anything wrong, it is your body giving you feedback

🔑 You can have a diastasis AND also still build back strength in your abs after baby, progressively challenging your abs is key!

Plus, There are other factors like —

• Genetics

• The health of your gut (like are you constipated and full of poop?)

• How you are tolerating stress in your day to day life that contribute to how your tummy looks & have NOTHING to do with a Diastasis.

I want you to know–

Postpartum recovery is not a one size fits all process.

Your pregnancy, your birth story, your unique physiology, AND your goals all matter in your journey of healing after baby.

You deserve more than guesses from a google search for helping you reach your goals!

Wouldn’t it feel amazing to understand the changes in your postpartum body & enjoy your postpartum body?

Of course it would!

This is exactly what I help moms do everyday at Radiance PT!
