I have diastasis recti after having my first baby in 2012. I am a petite women as I am 5'7 and 120lbs. I am especially petite on top. Before having my son I had a pretty flat tummy. Now since I have a diastasis of 3-3.5 fingers from my breast bone to pubic bone, my stomach bulges. I have flared ribs as well. I am concerned that the diastasis repair wont hold. I have heard stories from women where their muscles split again and the TT/diastasis repair and they didn't know why.
