Post Birth Recovery

What is diastasis recti and how can I support recovery after childbirth?

Diastasis recti is the separation of abdominal muscles that occurs during pregnancy as your belly grows. TheRY’s postpartum support leggings and shorts provide targeted compression and support to the abdominal as the uterus contracts and muscles move back into place and aid recovery.

How can compression wear help after a C-section?

After a C-section, seven layers of tissue are cut through, leaving abdominal muscles weakened. TheRY’s postpartum leggings and shorts feature an abdominal panel that provides targeted compression support to these muscles. Supportive but not too tight or restirictive to aid in daily activities when moving and bending can become more difficult.

Why do I still have a tummy bulge after giving birth?

A postpartum tummy bulge is common. About 60% of women experience diastasis recti, where abdominal muscles weaken and separate during pregnancy. Some women recover within 6 weeks, 45% by 6 months, while 30% may still have issues a year after giving birth.

How long does it take to recover from a C-section?

C-section recovery times vary, but many women feel discomfort for up to 4-6 weeks. However, studies show 60% of women can still experience pain up to 24 weeks postpartum. Supporting weakened muscles with TheRY’s compression wear can aid in recovery during this time.
