Here are six questions that many first time moms might ask about what can happen to their postpartum belly.
Q#1: Is diastasis normal in any pregnancy?
Diastasis can be a common occurrence. However, it is not necessary. You can avoid or reduce the size of your diastasis even in your early pregnancy. There are a series of diastasis recti exercises you can do and finish as early as your third trimester.
Q#2: Can it cause a C-Section?
There had been some circumstances that caused a C-Section. The weak connective tissue cannot support your top-heavy uterus. The uterus then tilts forward at the top. The cervix must be lined up with the vaginal canal to establish a channel for the baby to emerge.
Q#3: Does it happen to all pregnant women?
Only a proportion of women do not develop a diastasis. Women who do a specific set of diastasis recti exercises early in pregnancy can avoid having one.
Q#4: Can an incorrect push in labour cause the diastasis?
Incorrectly pushing in labour can cause or aggravate a diastasis and pelvic floor prolapse. You can learn techniques to deliver a baby that you should practise throughout pregnancy. Women must learn how to push with their strong and splinted abdominal muscles while relaxing their pelvic floor muscles to protect them.
Q#5: Is it harmful to my diastasis when wearing a front loading baby carrier?
A front-loading baby carrier is detrimental to your diastasis. The weak connective tissue cannot mend when the baby's weight places pressure on it. Mothers also need postnatal care after birthing in a Singapore hospital.
Q#6: How does it affect my baby and pregnancy?
Diastasis can cause back discomfort and constipation. It can also make pushing in birth considerably less successful. A diastasis occurs when the top of the uterus leans forward as the cervix turns sideways.
