To address your second question about why no one speaks about this, there is a lot of ignorance about what a woman's body is capable of doing after pregnancy.  A lot of people believe that you either have the genes to look good postpartum or you don't.  The correct information is out there, but you often have to wade through a lot of nonsense.  When I realized I had a wide diastasis, I found out what to do via google.  My midwife advised sit ups, which would have screwed me over, but I ignored her because I felt intuitively that it could not be as simple as doing sit ups.  I knew plenty of moms who were sit up queens and still had wide, stretched out bellies.  Sure enough, I learned that sit ups are the worst exercise - worse than doing nothing.

Also, those who are in the know often hesitant to share what they know for fear of catching a backlash. Unless a mother asks me directly and specifically, I don't share what I did to get my waist is small and toned. A lot of mothers will project sanctimony or arrogance onto you and resent you because they are mad and frustrated about their bodies.[/quote]
