It is SO common when having a bubba to have 3cm + separation (and even when you haven’t had a baby - this can still happen!! Even to blokes!)

I’m giving you here my ‘core’ exercises - the ones I went to - to go from 3cm separated to barely 1cm!

Now these are the ones you go to from 6-8 weeks PP (As long as doc says ok and no comps!)

Notice how I’m using lateral breath here to draw my bellybutton in towards my spine and my ribs pull down at the same time. This is enabling my transverse abdominis (deep core) to really switch on and engage through the exercises.

Note. These may seem boring but You NEED to strengthen your deep core before anything else!
