I am currently 14 months PP after having my first child and have DR of 6cm from my breast bone to pubic bone. I am pretty sure I will be getting diagnosed with Elhers Danlos based off of my hypermobility and skin elasticity. Is there any way or technique that can be used to ensure that the diastasis repair will hold in a person who has Elhers Danlos? I am very petite and have no fat or extra skin so my belly bulge from the muscle separation is very noticeable.
