Belly band recommendations for diastasis recti?

Question

I'm 32 weeks and am really worried about having problems after the baby comes. I saw a physiotherapist for a bit before I was pregnant and she told me I would probably get diastasis recti during pregnancy and I've just noticed that I have coning when sitting up so it's really stressing me out :/ Has anyone had any luck with a particular belly band to help with this postpartum?

Answer

Try not to use your abs to pull yourself up. Push up with your arms, or roll to one side and push off (even better). This is reduce pulling on the muscles.

Answer

I’m 34 weeks and have it super bad! My doctor is having me use the band that they have at the hospital after I give birth. She’s not a fan of using bands just because our bodies can become really dependent on them if we use them too much. She was telling me that after baby I’ll just have to do a lot of core exercises. Mainly the crunch and hold one. She said that could help pull the muscles back together, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ hopefully someone has a good band recommendation though because my doctor wouldn’t give me any 😂
