Diastasis Recti Recovery Videos

Hello! Hello! :) 

I have only attached a few short videos below, 

but I will be posting more in-depth videos of the diastasis recti recovery process on YouTube soon! 

Stay tuned! :)

When I Began Working On My Diastasis Recti/Ab Separation.

Caffeine While Nursing Gave Me Migraines.

I also wanted to let you guys know that the results did not happen overnight. It took time.

I was very fragile after the c-section.

I was nursing my baby, pumping at work, cooking and cleaning when I got home, homeschooling my oldest, and studying medicine while the girls slept, 

I was extremely drained and tired all the time, so my OB told me that I can drink coffee,

but after awhile of drinking watered down coffee everyday, I started getting extremely painful migraines, 

and they felt like spasms in my temples that would only stop for 5 minutes or so, and then start up again, 

My doctor didn't know what was wrong, so I did a test myself to figure out if it was something I ate, or drank, 

That's how I realized that it was the coffee.

When I stopped, the migraines continued for like 2-3 days though, and then finally went away for good.

Sadly, I didn't have coffee anymore to keep me awake,

so I bought Zinc and Magnesium vitamins from Amazon, and they worked PERFECTLY! Oh my goodness! The brand was MegaFood™ 

The Zinc came with 60 days worth of tablets, and the magnesium came with 90 days worth of tablets, and I stopped getting the vitamins when I stopped nursing/pumping

The Vitamins That Helped Give Me Energy While Nursing.

It's Okay If You Can't Nurse Your Baby. Things Happen :)

----------♡---------- 

 Based on the dates of the Amazon purchases, I had to of stopped nursing in January 2023, so my youngest was 14 months. 

I tried to nurse for as long as I could, but things happen. :)

For me, I didn't feel like my baby's food was safe at work anymore, not in the company fridge, and not in my personal fridge, so I had stopped pumping.

but it's okay though :) everything happens for a reason :) I put in my resignation letter in the end of February 2023, 

and I started helping mothers with their postpartum journey March 3rd, 2023 :) 

And it's the best decision I ever made because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE meeting and learning from all of you amazing mothers! :) 

I also LOVE that my babies get to meet and play with yours! Ahhhhh! They are SOOO adorable! :) If only they can stay small forever hahah jk jk

But anyway I got off track haha my point is, don't feel discouraged if you can't nurse your baby for a long time or at all! Things happen that are out of our control :) There's no need to worry! Everything happens the EXACT way it is supposed to :) 

Don't let anyone or anything bring you down :) There's a season and a reason :) Just go with the flow of life :) And keep being the amazing mom that you know you are :) 

Our mental health is just as important as our spiritual and physical health, which speaking of, I was asked what kinds of meals I ate daily so I will post some of them below :)

Every day was different, but I mainly focused on getting water, protein, veggies, fruits, nuts, oats, and grains in my system.

 After regaining my energy from trying to eat well everyday haha, 

I started going for long walks, dancing for long periods of time (upbeat worship music), swimming, kayaking, climbing hills, boxing, horseback riding, and indoor rock climbing :) 

 I slowly worked my way back up to strength training, starting off with Deadlifts/Squats/Lunges.

I started with no weights and focused on my heart rate, my form, and my breathing

(For deadlifts, I breath in as I reach down, and breath out as I stand back up 

For squats, I breath in as I squat, and breath out as I stand back up 

For lunges, I breath in as I lunge forward, and breath out as I straighten my legs back out)

And then after I felt comfortable and strong again, I started doing full body workouts :)

I also stretched every day to reduce the risk of any injuries, and every time I was with the girls or doing housework, I was always mindful of my posture and form

I let my body rest if it needed to rest and before I knew it my diastasis recti was healed!! Whoot! Whoot!! :))

And that's why I am here now! Sharing private intimate moments with you! :))

♥︎ I really hope that you enjoy and I pray that you heal soon loves! Have faith and always be kind to yourself! You already been through so much! You can do this! I BELIEVE IN YOU! ♥︎
