My stomach muscles also seperated during my pregnancy... I wonder if the big weight gain is related at all, cause I did put on 40kg with my pg...

To be honest once I was told about them seperating, no one ever said anything again... my labour was fine, with no probs at all.

After birth my stomach felt fine as well... mind you I certainly wasnt about to start doing sit ups or anything. (my mum apparently attempted sit ups a week or two after the birth of her first - and she hurt her stomach muscles so badly that she had to be hospitalised! :shock: )

I would just ask your care provider if there is anything you should be doing for it... and also after bubs is born, make sure you see your doctor before you attempt to start excercises - especially if you are going to be using your stomach muscles.
