Does doming during pregnancy mean you’re damaging your abdominal muscles?

Not necessarily.

Diastasis recti is a common adaptation to pregnancy, but diastasis and doming aren’t the same thing.

And importantly, seeing doming during exercise doesn’t automatically mean you’re causing damage.

Rather than panicking when you notice it, think about how the exercise feels, whether you’re experiencing symptoms and whether adjusting the movement might help.

We still have more to learn, but I think it’s time we moved away from making pregnant women frightened of every change they see in their bodies.

🎙️ Want to understand more? I recorded a podcast episode on diastasis with Antony Lo (@physiodetective) . Comment PODCAST and I’ll send you the link.

The smallest moments can mean the most in motherhood. 🤍

Life with two little ones is beautiful, overwhelming, and everything in between. And in the thick of the fourth trimester, even five minutes to myself feels like the biggest luxury.

I’m so grateful to @elvie for making those little pockets of time possible with their wearable, discreet Pump. From a hot cup of tea to a few pages of my book, it’s the little things that help me feel a little more like me again.

Because looking after myself, even in the smallest ways, helps me show up for my babies, too

❤️
