Resources​

Here are some of my favorite recommendations...tried and true by yours truly. I haven't added anything I don't have personal experience with through my own pregnancy. I will add more as I explore more.

Helpful websites: 

• BeFit Mom: exercise website for pregnancy and postpartum and lots of good info about diastasis recti
• Beachbody on Demand - exercise subscription
• Every Mother - formerly called the Dia Method, a proven pre- and post-natal workout to help prevent and resolve diastasis recti and strengthen the core

Useful Apps:

• BabyCenter - really the best (and free) one out there. 
• OviaPregnancy - lots of ads, but good content
• Daddy Up - really funny "male" spin on things that focuses on wilderness referrals
