Can anyone who has had diastasis recti and then it’s gone away please tell me are your abs totally back together all the way down?

I don’t even understand how this is possible. I feel like the worst mom. She cried for 10 mins and then I nursed her to sleep.should I take ...

Strange post possibly, but just wondering if this resonates with anyone. Since becoming a mum I have gone from crying a lot, being pretty emotional before getting pregnant and during pregnancy, to just never crying now I’ve had my little one. I sometimes cry at films etc as I did before, but nothing else makes me cr...

I want to start trying for another baby, but sex is so painful (7 months pp). Periods haven’t returned too! Does this get better - help?! 😭

I fell pregnant with my little girl in September 2023 and felt much...
