This week I am delighted to be joined by Robyn Jedkins and Lisa Heim, who are the founders of "TheRUBY Postnatal".

TheRUBY Postnatal is a postpartum care facility in Houston and it's a concept I think is fascinating.

We constantly say things like "It takes a village to raise a child" and "postpartum mom should really have time to look after herself and the baby and not worry about....." but, in today's fragmented world, that simply isn't as achievable as it should be.

TheRUBY Postnatal is kind of like a blueprint for how things could work well for moms and babies.

It's a completely holistic institution which essentially allows you to temporarily connect with a new "village".

They have trained experts on hand to help with all the things moms might need a hand with, including medical professionals, as well as loads of other moms to sit with, support and get support from.

The world is what it is, and though we might well want to..and I definitely do, we can't always smash the entire system up. TheRUBY Postnatal is something that offers a blueprint for postpartum care that could actually work for all involved, and I believe that if we had more facilities like this it would greatly benefit many women (And, yes, it should be paid for by your insurance company/Health service!!)

In this week's episode from the vault I answer some diastasis recti related questions that come up regularly.

I also talk about the having to take a break from rehab exercises. Of course it happens regularly that life gets in the way, is that a probolem or is it just not that big of a deal?

Here are the questions I cover;

1. I'm not sure I'm doing the home workouts right. When there is a spot that says "breathing (lying)" or "(standing)", does that just mean I do the upward motion breath that many times while lying or sitting? (I explain why we do this) And am I supposed to breathe up from my lower abdomen as shown in the breathing video every time I exhale in an exercise?

2. So, I was super diligent the first 6 weeks, but then I had a whole bunch of things come up right after the other and I've been pretty inconsistent for the last 6 weeks. I got all the way through weeks 1-4 and noticed a huge difference in strength and my diastasis gap and then got half way through weeks 4-8. I've done the workouts off and on since then but my gap seems to have digressed and gotten bigger... is that possible or am I imagining it? And if it is possible, how do I stop it from spreading apart again, are there certain motions I just can't do anymore?

3. Are the exercises you have us do in this 12 week program safe for early pregnancy as well, or just for postnatal?

4. And last question, how will I be able to tell once my body is strong enough again and how can I know that my diastasis is healed? (Since it's apparently normal to have a small gap there, I'm not sure how to tell once I've achieved a healthy level of separation.)

This week I'm doing a littlew Q&A as it's been a while.

First I talk about how diastasis recti surgery (tummy tuck) can help ease post-partum back pain. How does it work? What the issue is, Who might need it etc. etc.

Secondly I go over an email I had from a listener, and HPNB member, who wanted to cancel the program because it's not right for her. MY advice is always the same in this case; Cancel it! Don't pay a penny for something that you can't stick to :)

And finally I go over this study , sent to me in August, which raises some interesting points about how "Fear of Childbirth" can negatively impact the whole labour process, and what we should do about it.
