Diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal wall. About two thirds of pregnant women in Abu Dhabi are affected by diastasis recti.
It is typically confirmed when there is a 3-finger-width gap between the rectus abdominus, accompanied by a doming, or tenting of the abdomen when in a crunch position.
Pregnant women are not the only people affected by this condition, although pregnancy is the most common cause (baby growing causes abdominal wall to separate).
Heavy weightlifting as part of training can also be a cause.
DR is also associated with heavy weightlifting.
I don’t know if there are exercises that can be done to avoid getting DR, but having a multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets etc), or having more than one child increases the risk of getting DR.
A physiotherapist or doctor in Abu Dhabi will be able to advise you more clearly and specifically for you.
This differs from case to case, depending on severity of separation as well as how often the person is doing rehab exercises.

Doing some Pilates exercises in the UAE can be very helpful with this. Speak to your Pilates instructor in Abu Dhabi before starting classes so that they can modify exercises for you, if necessary.
Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), supine heel slides, supine toe taps,dead bugs and “fight-fight” – same starting position as dead bugs, but instead of moving arms and legs, push hands against legs and vice versa.
This last is an isometric exercise and very challenging.
With these last 4 exercises, it is important to keep the lower back on the floor (posterior pelvic tilt) and the navel drawing down towards the spine (active transverse abdominus).
