Hi All,
I'm 33 weeks at this point, and starting to get prepared for what I'll need to do post partum, especially with abs.
I have a diastasis right now. Not terrible, I'm about 2 fingers separated, but I'm suspecting this will get a little worse before I deliver.
I have a splint that I'll use for crunches (and all work), as I've read that that's how you're supposed to do them with diastasis.
But for those that have dealt with this, when did you start doing ab work again? Did you start as soon as you went back to working out? Did you give it a couple of weeks to see what your abs did naturally?
I've kept my obliques pretty strong throughout pregnancy, so my real issue (for now) is getting back the rectis abdominus (sp?) in the middle.
