Finding Your Abdominal Connection After Birth

02/11/2021

What happens to my abdominals during pregnancy and childbirth? As your belly grows during pregnancy, your abdominal muscles stretch and change. Your deepest layer of abdominals (TVA or Transverse Abdominis), acts like a corset which wraps around from your spine and joins via a tendon in the front called the linea alba.
