If you’re thinking about conceiving, currently pregnant, in your fourth trimester or even months or years post birth, abdominal muscle separation is something that may impact you.  I wanted to open up this conversation as I feel like this and other women’s health challenges post birth are not openly discussed and women are unfortunately confused and often suffering in silence.

To help inform you, today I welcome Kath Baquie to the podcast.

Kath is a mum of 3 young girls, a physiotherapist for women, and she has an online community, FitNest Mama which helps to provide pregnant and new mothers with the exercises, support & resources they need to move from the overwhelm, the physical aches & pains of pregnancy, the weakness felt after birth, and instead she helps to replace that with the comfort & confidence they need to get their bodies and minds strong again, so that they can get back to doing what they love with a bubba by their side (whether or not that’s running around with the kids at the park, or running the next marathon).

In this episode, you will learn:

>> What Diastasis Recti (also known as DRAM or abomdinal muscle separation is.

>> How you can detect it yourself if unable to see a women's health physiotherapist.

>> Ways to best support your core and pelvic floor muscles physically throughout pregnancy... even if you have a toddler at your feet.

>> Safe movement for a new Mum to safely do within her first 6 weeks post birth.
