Diastasis Recti Is The Condition Affecting Almost All Moms “It’s the abdominal muscles beneath the skin that separate, and it can happen to anyone who has to bear the weight of a growing infant in their belly.”
After my second baby was born five years, I was told that I was the proud owner of a diastasis recti a little more than two finger widths wide. I had only vaguely heard the termis when the right and left side of your abdominal muscles separate, and is often referred to as a “mommy tummy” or a “postpartum pouch.” Interestingly, newborns are born with separated ab muscles that close up on their own.
That’s a third of all women still dealing with diastasis one year after birth—and the likelihood is that many of those women don’t even know they have it. After all, how many doctors are examining women for this condition, or giving them advice on how to fix it? If you haven’t been checked for diastasis, go ahead and ask your healthcare provider for a check. But you can also do a quick and effective “self-check” at home. It’s super-easy. Ready?Press two fingers in the space right above your belly button.You should be able to palpate your ab muscles in this position.If you feel a gap, you can measure it by how many fingers wide it is.
Now you can get to fixing it. If you are postpartum, you should wait until you’ve got the green-light for exercise from your healthcare provider. And whenever you are ready to go, it’s highly recommended that you start an exercise program specifically geared toward diastasis recti. There are certain moves that can actually make the condition worse.
