Do you have Recti diastasis?
What is recti diastasis? This happens when the two long abdominal muscles called rectus abdominis separates during pregnancy or with weight gain. The fascial layers between these muscles widen. 27% of women have a abdominal muscle separation in the second trimester and 66% in the third trimester of pregnancy, Boissonnault & Blaschak (1988). In the first 8 weeks postpartum the diastasis reduces significantly and thereafter there is no further closure without exercise intervent
