Diastasis recti
It has been 8 months since my delivery. A few weeks after the delivery, I still looked like pregnant and it was diagnosed to be Diastasis recti. My doctor suggested an abdominal belt as well as some exercises. I followed the instructions for first couple of weeks but afterwards I discontinued both to do the exercises and to wear the belt. Now at 8 months, my abdomen is still not shrunk. Can I get some suggestions for what to do now onwards so that it get reduced.

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Try doing abdominal exercises that includes tummy tucks, curls, leg raises. Wear the abdominal belt but solely wearing the belt would not help so exercises are a must.
Keep a watch on your diet too.
Next Steps
Visit a women health physiotherapist for better layout of exercise program. You can also consult a dietician for diet information.
Health Tips
Do not just try random exercises without any supervision/consultation as you may not be able to figure what level of exercise you require that may land you in an unexpected muscloskeletal problem such as muscle spasm (catch).
