Soooo diastasis recti update time. I started out at 6 weeks postpartum with a (greater than) 4 finger width ab separation. At 12 weeks postpartum my ab separation was down to 3 finger widths. When checking this AM (13.5 weeks) it feels a bit less than 3, maybe 2.5 finger widths.

What have I been doing?

The same things I did last time I had this issue after having LB. But here’s a quick video with details.

I did each of the exercises for 10 reps and 3 sets after my regular at home workout videos. I also skip all ab work during my at home workouts. And I’ve been binding 12 hours a day (thought I’m not consistent with it. I usually put it on at bedtime and leave on for 12 hours).

Here is the binder I’m using

At this point since I’m moving in the right direction I don’t have to start physical therapy or consider surgery. My midwife practice is going to evaluate again in 6 months. I have a feeling by then I’ll be on my way to 1 finger width ab separation :).

How are the rest of my momma’s doing? Dealing with diastasis recti? How are you working on it?
