I can't stop thinking about how many of my friends are dealing with chronic back pain years after having babies. Today, I'm sharing what I've learned about the connection between pregnancy, core strength, and back problems - including my own journey of healing a diastasis recti. If you've had babies and are experiencing back issues (or want to prevent them), this conversation is for you.
