Diastasis Recti, Pelvic Floor issues, and Stress Incontinence - HELP! What works?!

10 years ago after I had my first child, I noticed I would accidentally wet myself when I was exercising - mainly jump rope or jogging. My ab muscles had separated during this pregnancy and I have what is called diastasic recti. The problem has gotten much worse over the years. I now have to change clothes several times a day. Has anyone had any surgeries or treatments that work long term?

Not I. Good Luck.

Incontinence started in mid-2021. Finally went to doctor who has sent me to a PT for PDFE and just had first session with 3 to follow. Lot of exercises which will hopefully work, pelvic muscles weak per invasive treatment (that is one of my questions - does it have to be invasive?).

This is great but I am looking for a Support Group in St Petersburg or nearby. Talked w/my doctor's office about starting one - they will not cause of red tape required by hospital system. That is so much garbage!

Reading this, I wish you all were where I am so we could have a support group. Best to you all.
