Curious question: Is it more likely to develop with a c-section? Because I always wondered if that's why mom's was so bad?
After a C-section you're supposed to not do anything that uses the muscles that were separated to get the baby out. Ignoring that advice can lead to pain and... Diastasis recti. 🤣
My favorite post C-section teaching when I did my OB rotation was "no vacuuming for six weeks." Because even that uses those muscles too much for recovery.
If your mom gives you too much grief, tell her to do the exercises. Or get it fixed surgically. Then she won't have to vacuum for another six weeks. 😇
The only downside to the surgical fix is that unless you've got multiple hernias, insurance says it's "cosmetic".
