Hi my diastasis recti has narrowed to 1 finger above my belly button but when I'm standing I've still got a bulge above my belly button, not so much below the belly button. I still look about 4-5 mths pg. what is going on?! I have about a stone to lose but the bulge is hard not,fatty. Has anyone else had this? Not sure if physio will see me, my DS is more than a year old.

Could it be a hernia?

I wondered that but it's a smooth bulge all over the area, not a lump...

I would make sure its not a hernia and then get a referral to a physio. I'm more than two years post pregnancy and recently have had two physio appointments and they have made a big difference to my stomach. Its definitely worth it.
