Amateur wrestler To Sonia Kälin38, the births of her children were difficult.

Daughter Lena was born in 2021 and Noemi was born in 2023. Kälin tells the Swiss Blick that Lena was born by caesarean sectionand 10 days after Noemi’s calculated time.

– It (caesarean section) was traumatic. After Noemi was born, I developed a herniated abdominal muscle – a 4.5 centimeter wide gap between the abdominal muscles, Kälin says.

Erkauma left a big mark on Kälin’s life. It limits Kälin’s daily life up to 10 months after Noemi’s birth.

– I can’t even blow up a balloon because my stomach feels like it’s going to burst.

She actively practiced sports after giving birth, but had to turn to plastic surgery. Otherwise, everything was fine, but the excess skin and the gap between the muscles should be cut.

– It would be extremely painful and it would take a long time to recover from it. It was out of the question for me.

Counselor

Kälin decided to appeal to her Instagram followers and asked them for advice and experiences. She posted a picture of her belly and wrote alongside it that people thought she was still pregnant.

– This makes me vulnerable, and it’s not a pretty sight. But I don’t just run to the surgeon and pretend that nothing has happened, Kälin wrote in his publication.

Many women contacted him and shared tips. The women wrote that it took them many years before the gap narrowed and closed with exercise.

– Of course, it doesn’t look sexy, and I don’t define myself by my appearance. My body achieved something very big with two difficult births and pregnancies.

Kälin ended his wrestling career in 2019 due to injury. She was chosen four times as the wrestling queen of the Women’s Federal Wrestling Association.
