      Very nervous about it....I had my only other child at 18 which was 13yrs ago im now 31 pregnant with my 2nd child doing a job that requires a lot of bending stretching and lifting (nurses assitant) im currently 4months and I definitely have diastasis recti I'm ordering a belly wrapper and I have some support garments and I am going to start exercising as well hopefully I can reverse some of it 😊

    1) avoid the harmful ab exercises
    2) do the safe core exercises
    3) don't let your belly hang
    4) use belly wrapping
    5) use kinesiology tape on your stomach

    I'm at 21 weeks and recently started having sciatica pain so I started using my belt when walking to make sure I'm supporting my lower back (I've also been doing your yoga with pregnancy sciatica and other prenatal yoga). I'm just wondering what is the best ratio.

    Hello, I think I gained an approximately 2-3 fingers gap during my 1st pregnancy which was healed on its own after delivery and my belly went back exactly to its pre baby shape (I exercise regularly and I thought I did the right ones)
    I am now 28 weeks pregnant and I work out using your prenatal videos. I checked myself and noticed a 2 finger gap and I am wondering if diasastis recti gets any worse with a second or a third pregnancy or I will have the same experience as with my first one, while showing the same care?
    Does the body tend to react the same way every time?
    Thank U very much

    Do you have any suggestions for other belly bands?

I'd like to search for something closer to home, but I don't know what to buy and what band to trust - the one I bought from my health provider is nearly useless, yet was pretty pricey.

    Hi there, thanks for your video!! I’m just wondering if it is ok to use the belly band during pregnancy. I see the bellies inc recommend their bands after birth but I think it would be great to also have some support when walking or exercising and I assume this is safe to do so? Also the measurements for the band is recommended at week 38 - I’d imagine I could go with my normal measurements as there seems to be a lot of stretch? Thanks
    Also, did you use the kinesiology taping pre birth? Thanks!

    • @MsXtraordinary

    • @PregnancyandPostpartumTV
      @PregnancyandPostpartumTV  4 года назад

      For the most part, yes, but every Diastasis Recti is different severity. It should not cause any coning or doming of stomach or pain. If you aren’t sure then a Physio would be able to assess and give you individual instructions.
