Diastasis Recti advice
Hi friends,
Unfortunately I got diagnosed with Diastasis Recti yesterday, about a 3 finger separation. (the midwife was feeling my abs above my belly button).
Anyone have any stories of their own healing/what they did to heal, or tips for still working out with SC or other online trainers? This makes me nervous to do any ab work at all, which is a bummer.
I won't treat your words as medical advice, but looking for some encouragement.
I have a small flap too from gaining 45 lbs with my son before a c-section last year and am a little discouraged overall that maybe losing the weight won't actually get it to go away.
