In this feature by Singapore Motherhood, Dr Harvard Lin sheds light on Diastasis Recti (DR)—a condition where the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy, often leaving women with a persistent “mum pooch.” He explains that DR affects the vast majority of pregnant women, but is frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Unlike general weight gain, this bulge may not respond to typical diets or core exercises. Dr Lin discusses how to identify the condition, when to seek professional evaluation, and the importance of targeted rehabilitation such as physiotherapy. He encourages postpartum women to seek support and avoid shame, emphasizing that DR is common and treatable with the right approach.
