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
