Im 9+ months postpartum and still look 6+ months pregnant. I had twins in September 2023 at 37 weeks. I ran, biked, hiked, rock climbed and strength trained through my entire pregnancy. I followed a postpartum workout plan for 15 weeks and saw a pelvic floor PT who said my pelvic floor was very strong although I still had some incontinence with running and my diastasis recti was still 2-3 cm when I was discharged at 6 months postpartum and to just continue what I was doing. she said this was all somewhat hormonal and would improve when I’m done BF
However my core just won’t cooperate and I can barely load it (I.e bird dogs) before I cone. I’m still leaking with running. I still look very pregnant when relaxed and my waist like is still 4-5” bigger than pre pregnancy. I’m quite lean so it’s not extra body fat.
I’m planning to continue BF until a year or so. I’m strength training 3X/ week, running 4x/week and interspersing some biking, hiking and rock climbing in there now.
My question is would you just rough it out for 3+ more months and wait and see? Would you go back to PT? I considered seeing my doc and seeing if my uterus actually went back to regular size. My first 2 kids I did not have this issue at all
