  • I have been doing a variety of your videos. I am 27 weeks pregnant and just realized that I have diastasis recti, about 3 fingers wide. This routine focuses a bit on the abs, and Im just wondering if they this workout is ok to do. thank you so much. I have been doing a lot of videos, including yoga and pilates, and just read that a lot of the things I have been doing can make the separation even worse.

  • @SophiePropper limit any exercises that cause the abdominals to flex, because that pulls the diastasis apart further

  • Your workouts are so fun! I feel really challenged by them, not only in strength but also in coordination and balance. It's so nice to get a great workout and have fun at the same time! I workout with you 5 days a week!

  • @JoyBouter Nice! So glad to hear that - thank you! Keep it up - we've got some great psotnatal workouts over on the website at Educated Pregnancy. com

  • Hi Dr. Cathy - I am in my third trimester with my third pregnancy. I do 5 or 6 of your videos daily :) I really struggle with all the hip movement in this one. I feel like having a big belly throws off the rhythm I would naturally feel in my hips. Maybe I just feel a little awkward and unbalanced at this stage... Do you have any advice for me?

  • @mamamaria88 Let loose and enjoy - who cares how it looks! But if there is some discomfort - then please modify as you need. You can make the movements smaller or eliminate some of the hip stuff altogether.

  • @erikaskis Thanks Erika. I'm a real instructor, real doctor and real mom so what you see is just the truth. No fancy recording crew or editing. It worked for me and I hope to continue to hear from you that it's working for you, too.

  • Wow, these are awesome! I just checked out a prenatal yoga DVD from the library and I was disappointed - it was mostly sitting and stretching. I want a workout! These videos are great.  Repeating one of them 2-3 times really gives me a good burn.

  • @nesha50421 Yes, this will help tremendously. I've got some other videos that will also help tighhten you back up after baby on my web site EducatedPregnancy. com

    Congratulations on the birth of your son!

  • @usmanshaukat123 That's a good start, but you'll definitely want to get moving and do some cardio as well.
