I've had this for 8 years now following the birth of dd. It get better between pregnancies after keeping up with physio & at home abdominal exercise.
I'm now 11/12 weeks pregnant with dc 4 and it's got so much worse.
I look about 7 months pregnant, I've got a huge bulge at the top of my belly button, hideous back/shoulder pain and were the muscles have stretched out to I keep getting really sharp muscle pain all the way down my torso.
Doctors aren't interested and said it will happen again and there's nothing I can do.
I can't pick my 16 month up because I feel as though I'll drop him and I have no idea how I'm going to get through the next 6 months.
I'm not so bothered about how awful it looks but I'm sick to the back teeth of people telling me I look ready to pop when I'm only in the first and the trimester and the pain I'm in.
Anyone have any advice or had this?
I'm tempted to go private and see if I can have the operation done to stitch me back up but unsure if this can be done whilst pregnant? Although I assume I'd only 'un stitch' as I got further along?!
