Pointy belly

Rebecca
The bottom pic is normal. The top pic is when I sit up or use my abs. So weird. Anyone else get this? I know your abs separate a bit but how weird is this. I asked my doc and she said it was normal but it still is just so weird to me.

It is normal BUT my midwife said to avoid any movements that create that point because those are the movements that make the ab separation worse! 😁

Mine does this sometimes too, I think it also depends where the baby is positioned as I tried it right now and it didn't get that pointy 🤔

It's diastasis recti. You can look it up and learn more about it. Fairly normal. Mine was really bad after being 5'1" and having a 10lb baby and mine miraculously went back to normal after. But it's good to learn about so that you don't make it worse than it needs to be.
