Anyone on their 3rd+ pregnanies and have a diastasis

Ha! Talk about your specific questions. Anyway, did it get worse with subsequent pregnancies?

ETA: Mine is very slight right above and below my belly button.

I have this. My second was really big, and he did a number on my abdominal muscles. I'm worried how this pregnancy will be affected by it. It doesn't help that I have horrible posture.

Have you talked to the doctor about it? Is there any support wear that you can wear to help out? I am so nervous it is going to get worse. It's not too bad now but it's bad enough.

I haven't talk to my doctor about it. I think I will ask next time. I know I've seen some exercises on the internet that are suppose to help with it. I don't know how effective the exercises are, but I'm going to ask my doctor if there is something I can do to at least prevent it from getting worse. I'm with you, I don't want it to get worse. I remember last time I could feel the burning sensation of my abdominal muscles pulling apart. I don't want to experience that again.

I accidentially clicked on this boar but I had a severe diastasis after ds1. It's going to require surgery. This pregnancy I've had some lower back pain but I got a maternity support belt called prenatal craddle. I didn't think it would help but it actually does. It looks totally goofy but hey. I don't know if it would prevent anything more but it does help your back.

Good to know hellopoppyseed. I will look into something like that. Thanks.
