Abdominal Separation

Abdominal separation—also known as diastasis recti—commonly occurs during or after pregnancy when the connective tissue between the abdominal muscles stretches to accommodate the growing baby.

This can lead to a visible gap or bulge in the abdomen, core weakness, lower back discomfort, pelvic floor symptoms or difficulty with certain movements. While it’s common, it’s not something you have to live with long term.
