What is diastasis recti, and how do I tell if I have it?

6y trước

During pregnancy, your linea alba (the connective tissue that runs vertically, separating your six-pack) and internal organs part to make way for the growing uterus. For some women, the gap does not close fully after that, resulting in a condition called diastasis recti. Diastasis recti usually sets in by the third trimester, and you can get your gynaecologist to do a check for you during your postpartum check-up. A self-check is also possible with professional guidance.
