Diastasis recti closing at 7 months pp

been away for a bit… so i’m 7 months pp and still dealing with diastasis recti from my vaginal birth. i’ve been doing some core exercises and physical therapy, but i’m not sure if it’s actually closing.

does anyone else have experience with this? how long did it take for yours to close, if it did at all? i’m 35 and feeling pretty frustrated with my body rn.

i just want to know if there’s hope for it to get back to normal-ish. anyone have any similar experiences?

diastasis recti closing timelines vary wildly, you said “i just want to know if there’s hope for it to get back to normal-ish” but what’s normal-ish, anyway, my own tear is still tender at 16 weeks pp
