Curious to know how I come across and learnt about diastasis recti, what mistake I don't want you to make and how you can start implementing things right away?
A 4.5 finger abdominal separation gap, 35 lbs over weight months after postpartum, 2 kids later, I want to share what I have learnt along the way.
Then you don’t want to miss this video. Here, I have showed you my entire transformation, before I was pregnant, during pregnancy, after my 1 and 2nd baby and currently how my diastasis recti is. And I know you can get the same result as I did.
Watch it now.
Are you showing up for your health when it is convenient and when you feel like it?
Scrolling on IG, you see the ladies dressed up in their gym clothes, stamping the time entering the gym with background of the big bulky machine and weights.
Good for them.
But it is far less pretty than that trying losing weight and heal a stubborn DR belly while taking care of two stay-at-home toddlers without help. Real talk though, mama.
I don’t have an excuse, just because I am a mom now doesn’t mean I can’t workout.
My kids are never my excuses, being a new mom is not an excuse, YOU are the excuse. What you TELL yourself is an excuse.
I don’t have time
I am tired all the time
I am breastfeeding
I don’t know where to start
I don’t know if I am doing it correctly
So
How badly do you want to have a strong core?
How badly do you want to wear a shirt without looking like 5 months pregnant?
How badly do you want to have a healthy second, third or fourth pregnancy?
Your health is waiting for you to roll out your mat in the living room.

I promise you, you will feel better tomorrow than you did today because you know you did something amazing to your body.
Things I wish my midwife or the doctor would have told me at the 6 weeks check-up after my first baby.
“Becky, maybe you should get your stomach check, I suspect you have a separation.”
“Becky, you should see a pelvic floor physio, it’s very common to have diastasis recti after child birth,” said Nobody.
The things I wish my midwife or the doctor would have told me when they clear me at 6 weeks postpartum.
The truth is, your OB or midwife most likely won’t say anything about it unless you ask. I don’t exactly know why it’s not in their protocol to tell us about pospartum abdominal separation.
I suspect that it is because the separation is more a “cosmetic condition” rather than a medical condition. The fact is that if you execute your exercise too soon or incorrectly when you have diastasis, you are going to experience back pain, possible leakage, hernia development, and a forever 6 months looking belly.
So mama, do yourself a favor, do a 1 minute self-check on yourself to see if you have diastasis. All you need is your finger, and you will feel it.
Your doctor clears you for exercise DOES NOT mean you don’t have one.
REPEAT AFTER ME!!
Your doctor clears you for exercise DOES NOT mean you don’t have DR.
I don’t want you to have to go through the same thing I did, because you don’t have to. Download the free guide HERE for the self check instruction and the blueprint to healing your Diastasis recti.
