Patient's question:
I am 33 years old this year, and my second child is already eight and a half months old. They will be meeting us soon. Does diastasis recti affect the second child?Doctor's answer:
It does not affect having a second child, only brings benefits. The rectus abdominis fusion, within two fingers (including two fingers) is considered normal. Between 2-3 fingers requires stability. Pay attention not to engage in trunk bending and reverse weight-bearing activities, as it can severely worsen the fusion. If it exceeds three fingers, it is considered a more severe rectus abdominis fusion and requires medical attention, otherwise it may lead to hernia. If you want to stabilize the symptoms of rectus abdominis fusion, it is recommended to take more walks and do sit-up exercises.
