Rectus Diatasis
In my opinion doctors come up with the most complicated words possible to define problems with our bodies. Like my most recent one, “Rectus Diatasis” is the separation of the abdominal muscles, which is a fancy way of saying there is a big hole in my stomach. Yay child birth. Pregnancy can really mess with a woman’s body and I find it rare when a man recognizes exactly how much women go through to bring a baby into this world. Its no bubble bath I will tell you that much. The women who have men in their lives who are supportive and understanding should consider themselves lucky, its a far better experience going through pregnancy when you have a supportive partner by your side. Just like abdominal muscules work best when they are together, so do parents. A child being forced to live two separate lives because the parents aren’t together can be extremely stressful or a child growing up with one parent acting as both roles. I find it a shame that some relationships just unfortunately can’t be mended. While someday my abs will heal, my marriage will forever be torn apart due to the pain and damage that it has endured. God heals all things with time but I think this is one broken thing he is going to leave be because in this case, my babies and I are probably better off.
