📛Diastasis recti, means your belly sticks out because the space between your left and right belly muscles has widened. You might call it a “pooch.”
It's very common among pregnant women. About two-thirds of pregnant women have it.
You are more likely if you are-
⭕Having more than one child
⭕Above 35 when pregnant
Having a heavy baby or twins, triplets, or more
Pregnancy puts so much pressure on the belly that sometimes the muscles in front can’t keep their shape.
"Diastasis" means separation. "Recti" refers to your ab muscles called the "re**us abdominis."
When the ab muscles move aside like this, the uterus, bowels, and other organs have only a thin band of connective tissue in front to hold them in place. Without the needed muscle support, a vaginal delivery could be more difficult.
The condition also can cause lower back pain, constipation, and urine leaking. It can even make it harder to breathe and to move normally. It's rare, but in extreme cases, the tissue may tear, and organs may poke out of the opening -- that’s called a hernia.
