A bit of an update: Diastasis Recti

Well, it's been a while since I last posted.  I am post baby and trying to get my body back.  My abdominals are definitely recovering a bit faster than it did with my first baby which is a good thing.  If only I could have the time to exercise regularly, but with two kids it's been a challenge.  Maybe when I figure out how to do it, I'll let you know.

The thing that I have found to be working is doing my diastasis recti exercises while breastfeeding.  That has seemed to help.

I checked my diastasis today and it appears by just being more conscious when I lift the babies that it's closing the gap!  It seems like I have a two cm gap instead of a 3 or 4.  The thought I have when lifting is tightening the corset.  Imagine bringing both sides together and bringing the pelvic floor up.  It's working for me, but if you need help, always consult a physical therapist or doctor.
