During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles stretch apart to accommodate the growing fetus. However, after birth, if these muscles do not go back to their original position and close the gap, the organs behind the muscles bulge out, causing the belly to sag. This is diastasis recti.

Many people think it is an inevitable retention of pregnancy weight, but it’s not; it’s not even weight, or fat, at all. In medical terms, it is a pospartum complication called diastasis recti or divarication. It is known to affect two-thirds of postpartum women who often believe it is normal and permanent, but the truth is, it can be managed and improved with the right exercises. Ignoring or accepting it can lead the condition to worsen and cause severe back pain, even hernia.

Read More »First, Mummy Tummy can be prevented; even before you’ve delivered, if you exercise with the right pelvic floor exercises, you’ll likely never develop this condition. Swimming, simple breathing exercises and yoga can also help prevent a post-pregnancy belly. For those who already have Mummy Tummy, don’t lose heart. If you approach the doctor within six to eight weeks of noticing a pooch after your delivery, chances are good that your abdominal muscles can be realigned with the help of a structured and supervised exercise program. Many online articles talk about crossover crunches, or bicycle crunches, to strengthen abdominal muscles. But if you do those, what you are doing without even realizing it, is exacerbating the condition. These exercises, and many others, cause flaring of ribs or stretching out of abdominal connective tissues, making diastasis recti worse; they, as well as crunches or downward facing abdominal movements, should be avoided. It’s important that, initially, you do the right rehabilitative exercises under supervision, before gradually moving to doing them on your own. What you can do, on your own, however, is concentrate on maintaining a good posture, post-delivery. Slouching puts more pressure on the back and may further the separation of the abdominal muscles. You may also want to consider wearing an abdominal support belt, post-delivery for six to eight weeks, to help draw the separated muscles towards each other and provide support to your core. You can also, while you’re waiting the six to eight weeks before your gynecologist can check for diastasis recti, try this deep stomach exercise to minimize Mummy Tummy:
