The Real Reason Your Tummy Won’t Flatten (And How to Fix It)

Abdominal Separation - Active Mum Education Corner

If you’ve had a baby and your tummy still isn’t looking or feeling quite right — maybe it’s still sticking out, or you just can’t seem to get that flat stomach back — you might be dealing with abdominal separation, also known as diastasis recti. And you’re not alone — ⚠️it’s incredibly common, but not often talked about⚠️

In this video, I cover:

• What abdominal separation is and why your tummy may still look soft, protruding, or “pregnant” months (or even years) after birth.

• How some women don’t even know they have it — and why it often doesn’t just fix itself.

• The 🚨hidden risks🚨 of ignoring abdominal separation, like back pain, pelvic floor issues, and a weakened core.

• The mistakes many women make in their workouts (like sit-ups and Russian twists) that can make the separation worse.

• Why healing your core the right way is so important — and how working with pre- and postnatal specialists can help you feel strong, supported, and confident again.

If you’ve been wondering why your stomach still doesn’t feel right or you’re frustrated that nothing seems to be working, this is a must-watch. And remember — abdominal separation doesn’t always heal on its own. But with the right approach, you can rebuild your core safely and effectively. ✨
