What is abdominal separation? Abdominal separation occurs when the growing uterus causes the two long, parallel muscles of your stomach to separate from each other. These muscles run from your chest to your pelvis, just under the skin, down the middle of your belly. Abdominal separation is partly due to the pressure of your growing baby, and partly due to the hormonal changes that take place during pregnancy. It usually starts in the second half of pregnancy. Abdominal separation is more common in women who have had more than one child, are aged over 35 or who are having twins or triplets (or more). It can also occur in a smallstatured woman who is having a larger-than-average baby.
What causes varicose veins? Healthy leg veins have one-way valves to help blood flow back to your heart. When you walk, your calf muscles pump the blood up towards your heart, and the valves stop it falling back down towards the lower parts of your body, such as your legs. Varicose veins develop when these oneway valves don't work as well as they should. This means that your blood flows back down your legs and pools in your veins. This stretches the vein walls and causes the veins to swell, twist and bulge. If they become large enough, you can see them under your skin. www.pregnancybirthbaby.org.au
