Stomach muscles separated...... Anyone?!?

Hi again,

During pregnancy, my stomach muscles separated and my stomach protrudes. The doctor said it usually goes away after giving birth but it has still not healed, 2 1/2 years later. This is a form of a hernia. I have read that when they do the surgery they will try to fix hernias. Has anyone had this? Or heard of anyone with this? Help please!!!

I know a lady who had this I think.  Hopefully she will chime in.  She goes by cushiebunny on oh.  I know it frustrated her post surgery because she, as a result looked like she was pregnant after losing her weight.  She paid to get plastics done because it was not covered.  Diastasis recti

I had it - and it was a major one.  From my breast bone all the way down.

I had it surgically repaired ( = the only way).

Send me a PM when you have questions . It happens often (to a smaller or greater extend) when you have "loose flexible" ligaments. 

Thanks for the replies! I really appreciate the info!

never heard of this -- thanks for posting the question -- interesting situation.
