28 | Why Do I Still Look Pregnant? How to Heal Diastasis Recti & Flatten Your Postpartum Belly

Hey there, momma! Welcome back to Strong & Nourished Momma. Today, we’re tackling a question I know so many of you are struggling with… Why do I still look pregnant even months after giving birth? If you’ve ever looked down at your belly and thought, ‘Why won’t this go away? I’m working out, I’m eating well, but I STILL have this pooch’—you are NOT alone.

 

I see so many postpartum moms frustrated by this, and I totally get it. You’re doing everything you think you should be doing—planks, crunches, tons of cardio—but nothing is changing. The truth is, your belly isn’t just about extra weight. There’s something deeper happening here… and it’s called diastasis recti.

 

So, today, I’m going to walk you through exactly what this condition is, why it’s the real reason behind that ‘pregnant’ belly look, and most importantly, how to heal it so you can start feeling strong and confident again.
