Diastasis recti (ab separation) scares the life out of new moms—and most never get a proper exam.
In this raw, research-packed episode, Dr. Natalie Forsell explains:
- What diastasis recti really is (and how it differs from a hernia).
- Why your 6-week check rarely covers it—and what a real assessment looks like.
- The “soda-can” pressure analogy that connects ab separation to leaking, prolapse, and back pain.
- How to self-measure your gap and decide if you need targeted rehab. Exactly how to breathe, brace, and move so you heal instead of aggravate.
- A sneak peek into Natalie’s 4-phase Postpartum Recovery Program for moms ready to reclaim their core—and their confidence.
