bulging belly on skinny body - Page 2

[Plarka]

I have a one fingertip separation from my bellybutton up. So supposedly that's not bad, but why does my whole entire stomach bulge out like I'm 5 months pregnant? When I suck or hold it in, it's fine and it looks pretty good, but if I let it all out, it's huge! And I'm a pretty skinny person otherwise. Is the one finger separation doing that?

I think it's not only that, but our abs are longer now and more flexible, from being stretched from pregnancy.

Yeah, that makes sense. How annoying! I feel all stressed out now, I have stopped doing my Pilates Abs dvd in case I do have this diastasis thing and it might make it worse, but need a new dvd to do that won't be harmful! I'll start a new thread I think....

Remember, too, that you're still post-partum. Give your body a chance to bounce back, at least the 9 months it took to stretch out. It's been less than 5 months, your organs might not even be in place yet.
