c-section & stomach muscles

Posted by bw (348 days ago)

My sister in law delivered a month ago. It was a c-section and at her check up with the doc, she said your muscles are very weak. You've got to take a lot of care, any strain and you'll have to admitted. My mum's freaking out and put her on bed rest.

Is this what they call recti diastasis ? Anyone can shed more light on this ?

I think Recti Diastasis is the vertical splitting of the retus abdominis muscles, i.e. our "six pack". This is almost like a hernia in the front of the body....I may be wrong.

Not sure what the doctor meant when she said your muscles are very weak".....what muscles are she referring to???

sorry, doc said "stomach muscles" which is why I thought maybe she meant recti diastasis.
