Diastasis recti: Sometimes there is a weak gap between the abdominal muscles running down each side of the center (rectus abdominis). When this happens there is a bulge due to this defect. Your doctor can evaluate this to determine whether it needs surgical correction. If you suspect you are pregnant there are inexpensive urine test strips available from your friendly pharmacist.
