stretch marks?

what do you mean separated muscles?


It's called Diastasis Recti...your stomach muscles seperate, if I were to do a sit up it looks like a have a mohawk down the middle of my stomach. The only way to fix it is a tummy tuck where they would sew the muscle back together. I won't be doing that my figure to me is fine.

Hmmm, mine has been doing that since the 20th week of this pregnancy. Does that mean it's going to stay that way?

Yes, possibly... you can google it to find out more info but here is an excerpt that came up when I did because I thought it only happened toward the end of pregnancy when you are stretched to the max and your muscle can't hold together anymore but I guess not:

Diastasis recti is commonly seen in women who have multiple pregnancies, because the muscles have been stretched many times. Extra skin and soft tissue in the front of the abdominal wall may be the only signs of this condition in early pregnancy. In the later part of pregnancy, the top of the pregnant uterus is often seen bulging out of the abdominal wall. An outline of parts of the unborn baby may be seen in some severe cases.

Also the boys were my first pregnancy and I have been thin all my life so I'm not sure why it says "stretched many times" since my muscle was never stretched before.
