During pregnancy, many women experience a separation of their abdominal muscles. Fortunately, the right kind of exercise can help your body heal.
suggests anywhere from one- to two-thirds of women suffer from a common post-pregnancy condition called diastasis recti, in which your left and right abdominal muscles separate.
Unfortunately, with pregnancy, these muscles have to stretch quite a bit. "In some women, they stretch more than others and a gap is created. The abdominal contents can 'poof out' between the muscles, much like a hernia," she says. Dr. Minkin notes that women who carry twins can be at an increased risk for diastasis recti, as the muscles can get stretched even more.The good news? No matter your situation, there are certain steps you can take-both pre- and post-baby to help avoid a diastasis.
If you're still suffering from a diastasis after a year, Dr. Minkin notes that you can also think about having surgery to stitch the muscles back together-though, she notes this isn't 100 percent necessary. "It's not a health hazard, so there isn't significant harm in ignoring it. It really comes down to how bothered you are by it."
