Abdominal Separation or diastatsis recti refers to the stretching of the linea alba (connective tissue) between your rectus abdominis muscles or six pack muscles. This stretching occurs as it allows space for your babies to grow.
This can occur in anyone from babies and children, men, women who’ve never been pregnant as well as women during pregnancy. Here we’ll be referring to abdominal separation caused by pregnancy.
A small amount of widening occurs in all pregnancies, however it can be become an issue if the gap is too wide and remains this way after the delivery of your baby.
