Unresolved ab separation from the first kid
I’m 17 weeks pregnant with my second. My first really wrecked me and at one point I had what I self-diagnosed as a 4 finger ab gap right around my bellybutton. I did diastasis recti exercises and got it to a 2 finger gap before getting pregnant again, but as my bump grows I can tell it’s nowhere near fixed. My bellybutton is like three inches wide and it looks like an outie within an innie. I asked my doctor about it and she was like “yeah your bellybutton is pretty wide, we’ll keep an eye on it”.
Just wondering if any of you are dealing with this or dealt with this. I’m worried I’ll get a hernia as this baby grows, or more damage, or possibly needing surgery to fix this after he is born.
