Hi Fiona,

I got diagnosed with this after having DD - didn't know what the pain was before that, just kept on going with life and putting up with it!!!

I had a c-section. Pain immediately afterwards was not helped by the condition. On day 4, I was unable to walk around the hospital without hanging onto walls - before having her it was not that bad.

I started going to physio 2 weeks after birth - now its 4 weeks and i can walk unassisted and without the belt.

I can honestly say that i did not notice the pain in my belly compared to my pelvic pain. However, all that lurching around trying to walk did not help the recovery of my stitches!!

I'm not doing pilates, just physio.
