Twins, Triplets & Abdominal Separation

Diastasis recti is a common condition encountered during pregnancy, especially in multiple gestations. It is a temporary separation of the abdominal wall and usually goes away after the babies are born. It is not harmful, but during pregnant and non-pregnant exercise you need to modify your workout. This is done for you on the Moms Into Fitness pregnancy DVDs. *Note: if you are pregnant with twins you need to read the MIF exercise modifications here. If you are pregnant with triplets or high order multiples you should NOT exercise.

The severity of diastasis recti in mothers of twins and triplets is usually increased. But you can do some simple movements to start healing the separation after pregnancy. Listed here are the 7 Simple Movements that initiate the healing of diastasis recti. And can be done directly after pregnancy or further down the line, of course with your doctor's permission and listening to the ability of your body after a multiple birth. And all of these abdominal exercise modifications are provided Lindsay's Boot Camp 2 DVD and CFS Method DVD. Test yourself for diastasis recti (abdominal separation) by watching the clip below.
