Can You Have Children After Having a Diastasis Recti Repair?

Yes, Ashely, you can have children after a tummy tuck with rectus diastasis repair. But obviously, the pregnancy will stretch your abdominal skin and muscles. After your delivery, your stretched abdominal area will shrink back towards normal, but it's hard to predict how much it will shrink. It may take up to a year for this process to occur, so I would wait at least one year after delivery before considering a revision of your tummy tuck. I hope that helps. All the best!

Thank you for yor question. The simple answer is yes. some women do get pregnant after child birth and can have normal pregnancy and delivery. This obviously will affect the musles and you may require redo tummy tuck.
