Why did my diastasis recti' repair not hold up? Will it happen again after the 2nd repair? (photos)

Female 41, 5’5 150 lbs. 25 BMI. Great skin tone. Was very active until surgery. Very little loose skin if any just muscle separation issues. Seemed to get that way after i aged not really after having my kids too much. I did have my appendix taken out 6 months after my Tummy Tuck. Gaul bladder removed 9 months after Tummy Tuck. Both robotic. I did not do anything to cause the separation. I have been down going from 1 surgery to the next. Could i have coughed right after and caused it?
