After my third child my diastasis was 2 1/2-3 fingers at 9 months PPD, and I was honestly feeling really defeated with it. I'd manage to close it some with physical therapy, but my core was still so weak. I am on Day 32 of the Reclaim Classic path and I'm feeling so much stronger! My separation is closed down to 1/2-1 1/2 fingers which is a huge improvement. My core is so much more functional. -Leigh
The Every Mother program is the only thing that has worked for my postpartum urinary incontinence. I can actually run and sneeze without having an accident or pee run down my leg! I've gone to a physical therapist and had electrodes gauge my muscle strength, and even all that did not help. This program is easy. I don't sweat. I don't feel strained, and I can definitely give myself 10 minutes a day to help my pelvic floor strength. It truly does work. -Beth
I love this program. It is so easy to use, motivating, and has workouts for all fitness levels. As someone who had diastasis recti, and struggles with pelvic floor issues, this is the perfect program for me! So many of the things my physical therapist wants me to do are built into the workouts. -Hannah
I just went for a two mile run- with no urge to pee!! That’s kind of a funny milestone but it has previously been unachievable for me. I did light Core Compressions with every exhale. I have been wanting to get back into running so badly and now it finally seems possible again. -Rae
Don’t give up. Trust the process. There will be set backs. There will be times you don’t see progress or you think what you are doing isn’t making a difference. But it is. You deserve this. The weight, the depression, the fatigue, the leaking, the pain- they do not have to be the cost of motherhood. Remember you are worth it. Do this for you. -Kathleen
Great program for busy new mothers. I got in shape extremely quickly after my c-section. Quick workouts that are effective and build in intensity over time so you don’t feel like they are too hard right off the bat. I recommend this program to all my friends all the time. -Jennifer
I adore this app! Before EM I could not march or lunge without feeling like my uterus was falling out. 60 days in I no longer have those issues!!! -Alison
I’ve been using this to recover from my c-section, and I love it! I felt like I had 0 strength postpartum and was so discouraged that working seemed impossible. But I can do these! These exercises are gentle on my core and have helped me regain my core strength in a safe way. The first time I measured my DR I couldn’t even feel my ab separation, it was all just floppy. Now my DR is almost healed and I have lost 6 inches off my waistline. -Every Mother member
If you are having any trouble with low back pain, pelvic floor problems, a weak core, or looking like you’re still pregnant months or even years after giving birth, do a self-check for DR (Every Mother has a video how-to). Lots of my friends talk about these kind of problems like they are something we are supposed to live with, which is really heart-breaking. I decided to give these exercises a try for just one month, and I’ve now been at it for a year and a half! -Sarah
