Time for another round of #Pregnancy101, where we discuss the most common pregnancy ailments and how to get relief! Next up: diastasis recti, which affects an estimated 1 in 2 postpartum women.
💡 What's the Deal? 💡
As your uterus grows during pregnancy, it puts pressure on the two bands of abdominal muscles that meet in the middle of your stomach. That pressure can cause the muscles to separate—a highly common condition known as diastasis recti, or abdominal separation. While the separation can happen before delivery, it might not be noticeable until afterward, when a bulge (aka “pregnancy pooch”) may appear on your abdomen.
✅ How to Treat Diastasis Recti ✅
Many doctors and physical therapists recommend belly wrapping, along with abdominal exercises, to help with recovery. Our Belly Wraps are specifically designed to support the core and provide stability, which can help treat diastasis recti. They can function like a splint to help bridge the gap and support your lower back.
