Picture of postpartum rectus abdominis separation

During pregnancy, there may not be any problems, but after delivery, many problems will arise. This problem may also be caused during pregnancy or during childbirth. For example, rectus abdominis separation after childbirth may be caused during pregnancy and cannot be repaired after childbirth. Is it normal to have 2 fingers of rectus abdominis separated after giving birth?

During pregnancy, especially in the late stages of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will cause the abdominal cavity to expand and widen, and the abdominal muscles on both sides will separate from the midline of the abdomen, which is the linea alba. Under normal circumstances, the abdominal cavity will gradually recover after giving birth, and the abdominal muscles will align with the midline again, generally returning to their original position in half a year to a year. However, if the abdominal cavity itself is weak, or if there are twins, the fetus is too large, there is too much amniotic fluid, or if there have been multiple deliveries, the abdominal muscles cannot return to their original position six months after giving birth, which is called postpartum rectus abdominis separation.

Regarding the situation of rectus abdominis separation after childbirth, if it occurs one year after delivery and the width of the rectus abdominis separation is less than 3 fingers, the original effect can be restored by exercising the abdominal muscles. After giving birth, the rectus abdominis separation 2 is abnormal and needs to be solved by physical methods.

The cause of rectus abdominis separation after childbirth may be caused by the uterus of full-term pregnancy, and it cannot be restored to normal immediately after delivery. In this case, you can do postpartum health exercises. Or do postpartum recovery or push-ups. If conditions permit, pelvic repair and stimulatory repair can be done. If you have time, you can do anal contraction exercises. After giving birth, remember to drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits.

In order to prevent the occurrence of rectus abdominis separation after giving birth, the abdominal muscles should be exercised before pregnancy to enhance the support of the abdominal muscles. At the same time, the possibility of macrosomia or multiple births should be avoided during pregnancy. Especially nowadays, we should avoid using various inappropriate methods to promote ovulation and cause multiple births.
