Pregnancy can cause all kinds of aches and pains and round ligament pain is one of the most common complaints. Learn more about Round Ligament Pain and other ailments during and after Pregnancy we can help with at bellybandit.com.

“Diastasis recti” is a symptom occurs during pregnancy and affects roughly two-thirds of all pregnant women. Treatment includes avoiding heavy lifting or stimulation to your abdominal muscles, using good posture, and supporting your lower back. Our belly wraps have been praised for helping with both posture and lower back support.

How does it occur?
The ailment occurs when the belly sticks further 'out' as a result of the 'gap' between the left and right side of your stomach muscles as the infant and mother both expand. 

Other terms or names for "DR"?
This condition is known as diastasis recti (or abdominal separation). The condition is most noticeable right after delivery, when a bulge (aka, “pregnancy pooch”) may be visible down your midline.

- To proactively combat diastasis recti women can strengthen their core muscles or seek to mitigate their us to prevent the pain associated with DR.

- Don't lift or overuse your abdomen if you have any abdominal pain or DR during pregnancy
