PREVENT DIASTASIS RECTI DURING PREGNANCY

[@capricebachor7632]

I know I’ve said it before but I have done your workouts with three out of four pregnancies and healed my DR after them! I tell all my pregnant friends and they’ve all enjoyed your workouts and videos for healing DR!

[@glowbodypt]

Ahh this makes me so full of joy to hear from you that you've done my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan three times out of your four pregnancies and healed your Diastasis Recti each time doing the plan! You sharing with your pregnant/postpartum friends means so much to me, thank you Caprice and well done to you!

[@littlemoeman12]

How long are the workouts generally?

This is the first and only video I was able to find that actually SHOWS what to look out for, demonstrates what to do and not do. This would have been so helpful during my first pregnancy. Thanks, Ashley!!

I’m so glad I found Ashley’s program. This is my first pregnancy and I’m so use to going hard and heavy at the gym. When I found out I was pregnant I toned it down a ton and stopped doing my normal workouts. This is first program I’ve come across that feels challenging enough and safe for me and my baby ❤❤

[@brianawhatley7119]

I can confirm that having really tight, firm obliques can mess us up! I had back and hip pain becuase my obliques were causing my hips to be uneven. I'm glad a massage therapist caught it early on and gave me stretches before it became a danger for diastasis recti.

[@soona22573]

This was so helpful! Since I hit my 26 weeks pregnancy, I started to feel that my core isn't as it used it to be, most core exercises I used to do during pregnancy (safe ones of course) now feels extremely exhausting, it's also more likely now to get backpain during some exercises like squats since I can't depend on my stomach muscles anymore. Now I understand that as you mentioned most likely I got the diastasis recti around that time and I have to adjust.

Wish I would have saw this 3 weeks ago! The last two days I felt like I was starting to really see coning in my stomach and was worried this was the cause. I don’t have a separation I can feel yet but the coning was concerning especially at my belly button. I was doing abs 2-3 times a week after my main workout 😱😱 I will be immediately stopping this and might even take a break for 2 weeks from just an specific exercises and do what you recommend. Hopefully since I caught it so soon I can stop it before it gets any worse. Had no idea I could be over training my obliques and making it worse. Of course today I did a half hour abs specific, thinking I was helping. Won’t make that mistake again! Thanks so much for all the information!!

[@glowbodypt]

Ashley, welcome and I'm so glad you are here. God's timing is always perfect. I understand you've been doing rectus abdominis training specifically 2-3x per week in addition to your main workout pretty consistently (you sound motivated and I admire that part - you're in the right place because my programs are SPECIFICALLY for hard working women who want *more* than stretching/breathing routines that treat you like you're broken). How many weeks along are you in this pregnancy?

[@krystalo7900]

Hey Alice, congrats on your pregnancy! Great question - 2x per week is adequte for maintence throughout your entire pregnancy. To make anything a routine, it's best to have a plan. Do these before your workout on Monday and Thursday weekly and that's all you need to get the intented effects.

hi Ashley! Really enjoying your prenatal workout schedule!!! I will definitely continue training with you once baby is here. I am at 24 weeks now and have been experiencing medium to severe backpain unfortunately. In the past, abdominal training is what provided me with immediate relief if ever I had backpain (which was rare). Aside from following your schedule, are there any specific abdominal exercises you would recommend that don't put me at risk of Diastasis recti ? Thanks so much!! Alex

[@glowbodypt]

Alex sorry I missed your question earlier! Tracking you are about 32-33 weeks now. You actually should NOT be doing ab workouts later in 2nd or 3rd trimester, so if you are doing any, you'll want to stop. Even obliques should be done no more than every other week in 3rd trimester. We will do all the healing you need postpartum on the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan.

Hi Ashley, many thanks for all your advice for pre and post natal. I was wondering if you have a video i may have missed about wearing the scarf around your waist post-partum - - i see that in several of your videos. I was considering a post partum belt or underwear but they all seem quite uncomfortable and i don’t know if it’s a good idea either (especially after a C section) Your input would be much appreciated and if you haven’t already it would be great to have a video about this. Thanks in advance!

Yes it is a good idea post c-section! But you must wear it above the incision site.

Of course there is hope for you! The widest I've known of on my plans thus far is 6 finger gap - mom of twins. My triplet moms never measured theirs before, only after, so I'll never know what they started with! What if you got your 8 finger ab gap down to a 3?! Wouldn't that be massive reason for celebration? And maybe with more time (6 months of DR safe training on my plan verses 3 months) you could get it down to 2. I'd love for you to FOLLOW UP with me too because you could be inspiration for other moms who have extremely severe DR and need pictures and stories from YOU.

How do we know if we were strong enough before, my belly has always been pudgy but I could hold a plank for several minutes and did lots of ab exercises. I'm almost 17 weeks now and still doing regular planks comfortably, pushups are getting tougher but I can do them from my knees with good form. I can't tell if I'm coning while I'm doing them so how can I know if they are still safe for me?

[@glowbodypt]

If this is your first pregnancy, I'd keep doing those through 2nd trimester if I were you. However if this is not your first pregnancy past 17 weeks then you may consider only doing push ups against the wall now. It sounds like your abs were very capable pre-pregnancy (able to do a plank for several minutes tell me you had a great deal of stability -the ability to resist movement, but doesn't tell me about your abdominal strength necessarily- which involves movement.) Regardless of how strong you were/are though, you will get DR during pregnancy because it's not a lack of strength that's the issue, it's an integrity issue during pregnancy that causes the gap to occur in all of us. This video simply advises how to REDUCE its impact and not accidentally make it worse. When you aren't sure, ere on the side of caution. :) Postpartum I'll get you back on track with confidence following my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan.

Thanks! It's my first and I'm trying to avoid DR and I know some who haven't gotten it so fingers crossed. I finally found the gap which is less than a finger and solid between. I'm going to keep going till I notice coming or issues with my form and definitely stop by the third trimester. Probably do modifications with a belly band in my third trimester or just bird-dogs and modified crunches (see article I shared ;-). Thanks again for the great info I'm doing to get my hubs to watch this video so he can periodically check my form when we workout together.

Can I start your prenatal training program at 20weeks, I had anemia and I’ve been struggling with doing anything beyond my office work. I have more energy now and would like to prepare my body for labour.

[@5555555553885]

Yes you can! I started her prenatal program about 20 weeks. Felt like my labor went really well because I was in good shape

Can this be fixed? I am 26 weeks pregnant & have it & my lower back & stomach are painful 24/7 I’ve also got scoliosis 3 herniated disc’s one in my neck two in my lower back

Congrats on 26 weeks along! I definitely have DR by 26 weeks and the majority of women do. You cannot change your Diastasis Recti until your baby is delivered, and we will restore the integrity of your core then on my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan. It's super easy to follow, just click and go workouts from your phone/laptop/can be on your big screen TV. I too have had scoliosis since I was a teenager and I feel for you. We are all just doing the best we can with the bodies we were given. I'm confident that even with your major back issues, you WILL make progress postpartum at closing your abs back down and flattening out the stomach.

@@glowbodypt I didn’t know you can change your DR after baby is born no one told me they just said to wear a belly band to help with the pain for now

how many pelvic tilts should we try do to per day??

[@glowbodypt]

Do it 2 x per week, 20 repetitions, taking your time to do them correctly and that's all you need!

Does 2 fingers apart mean diastasis recti?

[@EE-fn8ux]

Are reverse crunches safe with diastasis?

[@glowbodypt]

You need these videos: How to Know if your Diastasis Recti is Healed (because it's more than just gap, it also depends on integrity and how your stomach is functioning) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJiteqZ6f72knZI Also watch this one....Worst Exercises for Diastasis Recti (reverse crunches are not good) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXzRfXmtm7Kje7M

It's a really big turn off when you constantly talk about how much free content you're giving away.

[@glowbodypt]

Hi RueMinty, it's Ashley. I want to offer you an alternative perspective, but you are welcome to find a trainer you prefer anytime. Here's why I share: I 100% believe in the effectiveness of my plans and I'd be doing a disservice not to share about them because they save women time, prevent stress, eliminate mistakes, and they simply work extremely well. If ladies don't know what I offer (remember not everyone watches every single video...this may be the only video they have ever seen) then they will never know what exists for them, or how to get it.
