Severe diastasis recti

Anyone have a severe 11 + diastasis after having baby?

    No, but a physical therapist could likely help you with how to manage it. So sorry, and best of luck!

    I'm not sure what 11+ diastasis is. I can stick 4 fingers in between my muscles.. :o/. There is something called the tupler technique I was reading about. I've been trying to wear a binder & do some exercises.

    I can stick 11 plus fingers in mine. My doc could pretty much put both his hands inside my stomach. It's horrible. I look like I'm still very pregnant and it hurts. Doc says my guts are protruding out of my stomach. I'm going to see a physical therapist but surgery may be my only option. :( really sucks.

    How long have you been working on yours and has it helped at all?

    Wow 11 fingers. That's really severe. I am 5 weeks postpartum & think it's gotten a little better.

    Can someone explain the finger thing?

    If you lay flat on the ground with your knees bent feel the separation with your fingers. It goes width wise. I can lay both my hands plus some into my stomach if that makes sense. Sorry I am horrible at explaining things.
