[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you take Pilates, you might want to find out if you have diastis recti first (separation of ab muscles). Ask your provider. If you don't do ab work correctly, it can make the diastis recti worse.

I did not have it with my first, but got it with my second (vaginal birth but don't think it makes any difference).

Also, MuTu or Tupler technique are supposedly good for diastis recti. Have not tried either. 10 months pp with second and no time.

Thanks. OP here.  My OB confirmed I don't have diastasis recti because she sewed my abs back together (thanks, doc!).  She also told me that my uterus protrudes more than some women's because of where it is located in my body.  Curse you, genetics.  I really don't want to field "are you pregnant again?" questions for the rest of my life so looking for advice on what to do.  Pilates is on my list.  Any other workouts I could try on my own at the gym?  How have others rid themselves of the pregnancy pooch?[/quote]
