Diastasis recti & getting back into exercise 🤍

Hi mamas! I’ve been looking into diastasis recti after having my baby and wanted to hear your experiences.

I’m trying to ease back into movement, but I’m a bit worried about making it worse or doing the wrong exercises. I’ve been focusing on gentle core work and avoiding anything too intense for now.

For those who’ve dealt with it:
• How did you know you had it / did you get it checked?
• What exercises actually helped your recovery?
• Anything you avoided completely?
• Did it improve over time?

Would really appreciate any advice or things that worked for you! 💕

i did the lay on your back knees bent press finger slightly above belly button and slightly lift head up and measure how many finger fit inbetween the dip if there is one , mine isn’t that bad it’s about a finger tip width apart but i also don’t want to make it worse so only doing safe exercises until my core is strong again

Am I overreacting?

My LG goes to nursery 4 days a week (3 half days and 1 full day). We have to provide our own nappies and wipes and were told when they’re running out so we can restock, which is fine.

My issue is, the last few days, my LG has come home in a random nappy from a brand that isn’t hers and she’s started to become sore down there. When my partner brought it up to the baby room manager, her response was ‘oh well, babies are babies, it doesn’t matter and they pull them out the drawers’. For one, the drawers are high up as I’ve seen them so shouldn’t be getting pulled out and 2. If I’m providing nappies, use them because what if the persons nappies being used, can’t afford a lot?

We’ve had no issues with the nursery until this but I wonder if maybe I’m overreacting about it?

Car seats

I’m so sorry if this is a stupid question but I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby. What happens with car seats in the back of the car? My other two are still in car seats they are nearly 4 & 2? Where will the new born car seat go? Am I being stupid?🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😂

Visitors of newborn.

I’m feeling a bit anxious about having visitors after I get home from having my baby. I know a baby’s immune system is immature for the first 2 months of life and don’t want her to get any germs.

I am worried about family members turning up and not telling me their poorly like got a cough or viral thing. My question is has anyone ever visited your home and been poorly?

Visitors.

This will be my first C-section but third baby.

How long after your baby’s birth did you have a visitor ie close family like mum / dad /sister / brother?
