Childbirth and pregnancy both have significant impacts on a woman's abdominal muscles. As women carry a growing child around for nine months, they need to develop more strength in their core. The abdomen is also strained throughout the process of giving birth. By neglecting core muscles, giving birth becomes more difficult, and the recovery process after childbirth will also be more taxing. Another thing to keep in mind is how the stretching abdomen affects the muscles. The muscle fibers become lengthened and weaker during pregnancy. Women need to do exercises to keep them functioning normally. As the abdominal muscles push apart, there may be a noticeable and permanent gap between them.
