Asked By:Vickygreen236 in Ottawa, ON

Hi there, I have this tummy pooch right where my belly button is, I've had it for many years probably since I was about nine. Im not sure if it is just excess belly fat or if it is diastasis recti. I have had a baby just over two months ago but My stomach always had this pooch. Please let me know thanks.
