Diastasis is when your abdominal muscles separate to accommodate for bub. This is a completely normal process and will happen to every woman during pregnancy. There are differing sizes and depths of separation and that is why it is important to get assessed.

Here are my top 8 super-quick, super-easy and mostly-healthy snacks and treats for time-poor MUMS. I’ve given them a can-you-share-with-the-kids score (ie is it healthy/appropriate enough for your kids), starting with the most shareable first. I have also included a difficulty rating, because sometimes even a 4/10 is too hard!

Incontinence is common but not normal. We shouldn’t accept it as a norm and it is something you can work on and get significantly better. Don’t ignore it.

Too commonly we see people only strength training in one plane of motion. Think squats and planks just being in one straight line. Everyday life tends to have us going side to side and diagonally. Particularly changing nappies, putting bub in the car and picking stuff up off the floor usually has some rotational component. We want to strengthen in those planes too!
