Anyone have diastasis recti?

Question

What did you do to correct it? I'm sick of looking pregnant when I'm not. Even my mom commented on it the other day. I am super skinny everywhere else so I don't wanna do crazy exercises that will make me look skinnier everywhere and still have this gross belly. Thinking of getting a thing to suck it in but I wanna fix it for real

Answer

Your OB should be able to help you see a physical therapist who specializes in diastasis recti healing. I personally follow a fitness instructor who specializes in pregnancy/post-partum & diastasis recti healing exercises. She’s on Instagram as @goodfortheswole ... I think she may also have a website if you don’t have Instagram.
Make sure to not do any core exercises as they worsen separation, not fix them. Example: sit ups, crunches

Answer

you can look up exercises online, but your best chance of success is if your Dr can send you to a physical therapist. They are best equipped to help you close the gap correctly. If it's too severe, then surgery is an option once you're done having kids.

Answer

Following. I got it my 3rd pregnancy. I went back to my prepregnancy size, but none of my clothes fit. I'm pregnant again and it's definitely splitting again, it hurts. So after this pregnancy  (4th and last) I'm really going to need some help.
