Weights/circuit training ladies: Anyone else super afraid of diastasis recti? I'm 17 weeks and started back up working out once 2nd trimester hit. Was in good shape prior to pregnancy (six pack) and I continue to do weights (arms/squats only) running/jogging on treadmill, rowing, trx. I avoid abs and planks, but I still get scared that other workouts could do it unintentionally. I love how I feel during and after a workout, but then always worry in the back of my mind!!! Any reassurance/tips got the crowd?
Oh man, I still do planks in barre class. I've never had that happen and I'm expecting #4, but I'm more active now than I was with my last 3. I finally went back to lifting weights yesterday, arms/shoulders. I guess legs would put too much strain on the abdomen?
