During the pregnancy, connective tissue called the l thins out in response to a change in hormone levels in order to accommodate the growing uterus.

Women may be more likely to develop diastasis recti if they are petite, carry multiple babies at a time, have had multiple pregnancies, carry their babies later in life, have poor muscle tone, or have a sway back posture. Your medical history could play a factor as well. "Women who had diastasis recti from a previous pregnancy will most likely develop the condition again
