THRIVE TV: Diastasis Recti

CALLING ALL MOMS!

This is important stuff.  And unfortunately, pretty common stuff.  Have you ever heard of diastasis recti?  It's essentially when the walls of your abdominal muscles are separated, which can happen most frequently after a pregnancy.  If you're not sure what it is or how to find out if you've got symptoms, it's all laid out in the video below.

It's important to know this stuff because if you do have abdominal separation, you want to be really careful about the types of exercises you do postpartum, so you don't make your symptoms worse.  When you're finished with the video, go to this link and grab a free PDF we created for you which outlines the test to determine if you have diastasis recti symptoms and includes our favorite resources for correcting and healing your abdominal separation.

THRIVE TV: The Flexible Straw

Weeeeeeee're back!

Today on THRIVE TV, I'm sharing a useful labor/birth tool, especially for partners! As silly as this video is--take this seriously, partners. You've got an important job to do so your baby mama doesn't get dehydrated. The less words you have to use while she's in labor, the better. The less she has to request things, the better. The less she has to MOVE, the better!

Of course, you've got to bring more than just a cup and a straw to your birth, so we're giving away a FREE printable hospital bag checklist. All you've got to do is click this link, download the PDF, print it out, and pack that bag!

And tell me... What material item could you have not lived without during labor or your hospital stay?

THRIVE TV: The Magic of the Bedside Bin

Well, this was something else. Why is being on camera so flipping hard? I was extremely vulnerable. Nervous. A little embarrassed. But I knew I wanted to see if I could do it.

Then, I realized. Dude, that's how my clients feel in labor when I'm supporting them! If they can do that, I can make a flipping video and put it out into the world with hopes that it will help someone!

So, that's what we're doing. Today, we're launching THRIVE TV!!!!!! And we're chatting all about the magic of the BEDSIDE BIN.

Okay, now please make me feel like it was worth it! Share your postpartum item that you needed at your side at all times! And if you're pregnant or want to give the AMAZING gift of a pre-made bedside bin to a pregnant friend, click here to grab that free PDF with a list of all of the items you can add to your bedside bin!
