    I'm not sure there is much you can do, mine never went back to normal and got worse each pregnancy. Wearing a support band can help a bit, even like tubigrip(I wear it occasionally as I find it annoying lol). There are some gentle exercises you can do in pregnancy but I'm not sure they help much.

    Mine has returned and then some this pregnancy and I too have 'toblerone belly'! My physio said there's not much I can do except to avoid any movement that resembles a sit-up - so all getting up from lying down should be done by rolling only side and completely using arms to get up.

    She said the SRC recovery shorts or tubigrip post pregnancy should make some difference to recovery.
