I started the gym again at 6 weeks after being cleared by my gyno. I started off with just cardio & a bit of leg workouts. By week 8 I was feeling 100% ready to go back to doing abdominal workouts and lifting weights.

Thanks lovely! Did you see a women's physio at all?

There are special exercises for Diastasis Recti to help it get back to normal

Yh I want to confirm if I have DR before I start working out

no I did not.

Following because I also want to know the same thing. I’m 2 months PP and really want to go back to the gym but pretty sure I have diastasis so I started doing this at home exercises to help with that before return to exercise

Following

I started at 6 weeks PP, I was seeing a pelvic floor physio throughout my pregnancy and post partum. She checked me for DR and informed of what types of exercises I should do and what to avoid. I ended up not having and DR so she said I can go back to regular exercise but try to avoid running/jumping/HIIT workouts until 4 months just because it’s a lot of pressure on the pelvic floor. That part I didn’t fully listen to and started running/jumpin/HIIT at like 3 months PP

have you paid for a plan or are you just doing ones recommend online?
