Yes there is, you can definately reduce how much your abdominals separate during your third pregnancy.<br />Concentrate on your posture, if in your 1st Tri-mester do isolated transverse abdominal leg slides.

You could follow for longer to correct your diastasis. You may also need to wear a support for 1-2 weeks for a couple of hours a day- LorraineMummy Trainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014093929284127108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397452140861828393.post-30354399811523058032012-05-09T00:06:58.444+12:002012-05-09T00:06:58.444+12:00Any hope for mum of 2 (with 3rd coming up) who has...Any hope for mum of 2 (with 3rd coming up) who has not "closed" the gap after each pregnancy?Snahitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795399666684735287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397452140861828393.post-67604537477136953672012-03-16T18:21:02.310+13:002012-03-16T18:21:02.310+13:00Thanks Bethany :-)Thanks Bethany :-)Mummy Trainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014093929284127108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397452140861828393.post-25395619541940933272012-03-16T18:11:58.303+13:002012-03-16T18:11:58.303+13:00Love it!
