Paying attention to pressure after giving birth is very important. Think of your deep core muscles as your body’s natural support system. They’re like a corset that holds pressure in place. If pressure isn’t managed properly, it can cause issues. Pressure can push outward through your tummy (that’s a diastasis recti), down through your pelvic floor (which can lead to problems like prolapse or incontinence), or even up through your stomach (causing acid reflux). . cc: @stephaniestamas
