"Hot and Hot", which leads the box office of the Spring Festival movie, makes the topic of "** once again "dominate the list", the difference between the front and back figures, for women who love beauty, who can say that they are not envious.
For mothers who unlock new roles in life, there will also be various postpartum troubles, such as changes in body posture, weakness, flabby, and so on.
Especially postpartum fat.
1. Why do postpartum women especially love "fat" bellies?
This starts with the diastasis rectus abdominis muscle......
Diastasis rectus abdominis refers to an increase in the distance between the bilateral rectus abdominis muscles in the midline, usually more than 2 cm. During pregnancy, the abdominal circumference increases, the abdominal wall expands and extends, the position of the rectus abdominis muscle rises to both sides, and when the muscle exceeds the elasticity limit, the elastic fibers are released, resulting in the separation of the rectus abdominis muscle.
After delivery, the rectus abdominis muscle moves closer to the midline and regains abdominal wall tone in about 6 to 8 weeks. However, in severe cases of separation, the rectus abdominis muscle is difficult to recover on its own, which may lead to lower back pain or affect the stability of the pelvis and lumbar spine.
Studies have shown that the prevalence of diastasis recti at 21 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months postpartum is4 and 326％。
2. Consequences of diastasis rectus:
Big, flaccid tummy: The most obvious effect of diastasis rectus is posture. Many mothers have returned to normal weight, but they have big bellies and loose bellies. Especially in the summer, mothers who like to wear skirts are very distressed.
Insufficient support for abdominal organs: abdominal muscle relaxation and weakness, insufficient support for rectus abdominis muscle, will cause the abdominal organs to sag, compress the bladder, easily cause urine leakage, and in severe cases, the abdominal wall may also appear, and may also cause internal organ displacement.
Low back pain, knee pain: the deeper the diastasis rectus, the worse the abdominal muscle strength, the worse the stability of the spine, postpartum low back pain, knee joint pain, anterior pelvic tilt, waist and hip soreness and weakness.
Constipation: Insufficient abdominal pressure can not promote the peristalsis of the large intestine well, resulting in constipation.
3. Self-test of the degree of diastasis rectus abdominis.

The left hand supports the head, and the index and middle fingers of the right hand are vertically probed into the abdomen;

Within 2 fingers is normal, and more than 2 fingers are recommended to seek medical attention**. Although there is no clear prevention method for postpartum diastasis rectus, timely detection of diastasis rectus abdominis and targeted ** can improve or even eliminate the damage caused by childbirth to women!
