That's rough hon! I strongly suggest seeing a physio who specialises in pregnancy on a regular basis. They can help SO much!
I've been seeing my physio since early into my pregnancy due to back, groin and pelvic pain. My lower back and glutes still play up on a regular basis so I now do pilates (one-on-one) with my physio once a week. We are working to strengthen my core muscles (which is not easy after being pregnant and giving birth!) and I can say it has definitely helped. My muscles separated but nothing too major but I couldn't do situps for a long time so we are also working on that now too. My pelvic floor muscles also got one hell of a work out so I do exercises to strengthen them as well. With a bit more effort from my side (), I think my pelvic floor muscles could be brilliant TBH. I know what to do, I just need to do the exercises!
It is incredible what a good physio (and pilates) can teach you about your body and the simple exercises you can do to get things back to some sort of normal. You need to be prepared to put in the effort though, like any exercise.
My sister had a prolapse after her second son was born and she's fine now She also had severly split stomach muscles but they seem to be AOK now...given she's one of Australia's top kite surfers
I understand how you feel. My tummy muscles are r00ted *sighs*... I still have separation going on and my pelvic floor and bladder haha funny!! I am hoping to find the strength to face these things one day soon cos it depresses me greatly to look in the mirror and see this stomach hanging and floppy
