Hi IMs
I gave birth to my beautiful daughter almost a year ago via c section. The issue is, it is 11 months post birth and I still look 6 months pregnant. My stomach is quite swollen and distended. I’ve had an upper abdominal scan and it was normal. Could it be fluid retention, or diastasi recti?
I am not body image obsessed but it’s getting me down.
Anybody been in or is in this situation?

Have you seen a physio and been assessed for muscle separation?
Could it just be fat? Have you changed your diet to see how it impacts?
Ever heard the saying, it’s hard losing the “baby weight”?
