Post-pregnancy Diastasis Recti and Overweight?

October 7, 2012
Asked By:amoita

I recently had my 2nd (and last) baby. I have a diastasis recti and am also about 90 lbs overweight. I'm working on loosing the excess weight, but am concerned that the diastasis recti is causing my abdominals to be weak and may cause back injury. Is that a concern, and would it be better to wait until I've lost the weight to get the diastasis fixed, or get it done now?
