Anyone suffer from this? I find it a bit overwhelming looking up things that help and then later the exercise is contradicted saying it can make it worse.

    Can you get an appointment with a physical therapist?

    I have it too, from major abdominal surgery. Gut sucking exercises help, but honestly? Losing weight is making the biggest difference.

    Is it possible to have this even if you didn't have a baby?

    Yes. Either viscerel fat in your abdomen can cause it, or major abdominal surgery that slices between the abs. I have from the latter. Though, mine is made worse by my abdominal fat. After the surgery, it just kinda wants to all hang out.
