Thinking back to my healing experience with diastatsis recti, a very sore psoas muscle and weak core muscles, I now understand the amount of compassion one needs to not only look at their postpartum bodies with appreciation, but to be curious about what this new body needs. I delved into this issue even deeper during a recent conversation with Dominique Quarles on the podcast.
The quality of postpartum life is critical to the well-being of new mothers and babies. Most new mothers will struggle with their new bodies and feel the pressure of “snap back” culture. But we have to be gentle with our bodies. Flooding the postpartum narrative with more conversations about our real rehabilitative needs after delivery is a wonderful start.
