Whether you develop diastasis recti during pregnancy or after childbirth, you must know how to take care of yourself. Otherwise, the recti muscles will expand more, and they will cause you discomfort.  

To not let that happen, make sure to follow the following. Doing so would help your diastasis recti in Singapore heal on its own. 

DOS

  • RELAX.

Taking a deep breath and making the shoulders relaxed help the recti muscles not expand more than it is. As such, your diastasis recti would become less painful.

  • WALK MORE.

Make sure when you walk, wear flat and comfortable shoes. Doing so would help lower the cortisol level in your blood and that slim down your waistline. 

  • FOCUS ON POSTURE.

Since you have been carrying a baby inside your tummy for nine months, you have to retrain the muscles so the extracted recti part would heal on its own. Therefore, sit or stand up straight and hunchback.

  • GET UP ON THE SIDE.

This method is the best way not to put so much pressure on the abdomen wall. As a result, the divarication of the recti would not become more stretched than it is.

DON’TS

  • PRACTICE YOGA.

The same notion applies to this exercise. Even though you often do this before your pregnancy, your abdominal muscles right now are no longer the same. That means you need to avoid doing this until those heals up. Otherwise, your diastasis recti in Singapore will get worse.

  • HOLD CHILD ON ONE HIP.

Your baby might not seem heavy, but their weight can still put pressure on your abdomen muscles if you carry them, especially on one hip. That is why you should hold them properly if you do not want your recti muscles to stretch more, causing you more pain. 

Take note of these so your divarication of the recti would not get worse and not cause you pain anymore.
