My baby is 9 months old and I still have a belly that looks like I am 6 months (no exaggeration) pregnant - by the end of the day. My stomach muscles separated during the pregnancy. Have had an ultrasound and they are 4cm apart when relaxed and 1cm apart when tensed. Gp has referred me to a specialist at my local hospital, but of course I am on the waiting list and it will be months!
First thing in the morning it looks OK, but as soon as I eat a big meal or drink a bottle of water it explodes. It's really bothering me cause I have now had 2 people ask me if I am pregnant.
I am super fit. I train around 6 hours a week, and compete in triathlons. So I know it's not diet or exercise related. I am even a lighter weight than I was before I was pregnant. It's not flabby either, it's actually quite hard. I would love to know if anyone else has come across this, and maybe has some answers for me. I work my arse off and it's extremely upsetting having people asking me if I'm pregnant!
Have attached an image... It's only 3pm, so keep in mind, it gets bigger than this!
Fat belly STILL
