    My sister and I both have it too. Mine is there a long time but I didn't know what it was, just thought I was fat and had stretched muscles. So,like all of you, I have been exercising completely wrongly and making to worse! Its a really bad one, so I am going to a Tupler Technique therapist soon and plan to start the programme. I also have had a prolapse repair which has been somewhat successful but I still have issues. I would love to be in the group. On the website, it says that doing exercises like the plank make it worse!

    I'd love to be in the group. Not sure if I have DR or just fat on my belly.

    Would love to be connected to this group! I'm a Pilates instructor and my 2nd child is about to turn one. Finally took the time to diagnose myself. Want to make sure I'm not making it worse in my workouts!

    Hi Guys, I have a used size small splint to sell if anyone would like to buy it. It's black. $40 and I also have Gabrialla Breathable Elastic Abdominal Binder I will include. I can list it on ebay if you would rather. I had a gap after my first child and it never closed up, it got worse with my second birth. After my 4th and last birth I used the splint right after my last birth for 3 weeks solid then off and on for 6 weeks total. I used the Gabrialla Breathable Elastic Abdominal Binder around it because when you move around it begins to bunch and fold a bit and the other one on top keeps it flat better. My gap is almost 100% closed and I work out normally not, crunches and all.

    Good luck to you all!

    Can I please join the group? I really need this group. I have had mine I reckon for the last 20 years, since shortly after having my first child, when I did all the wrong things to improve my belly. I can fit 10 fingers into mine so you can imagine what its like! I have just finished my first week of the Tupler Technique ( had to travel to the other end of the country to access a trained therapist) - a four hour journey each way! I need all the support I can get!

    Hi, Unfortunately I am a medium size or I wold buy yours. I am very interested in the Gabrialla binder because I have the same problem. My splint bunches up a bit. It all goes high and my lower belly is regularly left without support. Does this really work to keep it in place? And are you extra hot? What with a camisole top, the splint, plus my clothes, I am already too hot and it's only March!

    Hi there
    I'm looking at purchasing this - I have awful separation after having twins :( but was worried it was just a gimmick.
    Please can I join the group?

    Hey! Ok, I've been reading these posts and was wondering how y'all are figuring how to measure and how do you know you have this? I mean I have a huge belly and do crunches but you know I've always said I feel like it the crunches would make by belly protrude more, of course I am always told no it won't. I need to know! Thank y'all for these posts! Please add me!

    Hi there! My son is six months old and I have a huge diastasis recti I look five months pregnant still. I got the DVD and the book and I have a different splint. I would love the help and support of other people with the same issue. I would love to be part of the group.

    I started Tupler about 6 months ago, then stopped because I couldn't wear the band in the hot summer months. I'm ready to try again. How do I join this group for support?

    I had a baby 10 months ago and just found out I have diaastasis recti. I was thinking about trying the Tupler Technique and was wondering if anyone has had any success. It is such a relief to find out that I'm not alone and would love to join your group.

    I had no idea there was a name for this until a few months ago when I googled 'separated ab muscles'. I have a 4 finger separation. I made my own splint- a version of the Tupler one, but I think I have to bite the bullet and buy the real one. (Or get better velcro)

    When I was pregnant with my second I showed really fast and had a huge belly, despite normal weight. Did any of you also have those symptoms? Also, If there's a group, I would love to join.

    @franny0010, I think you are in the right group. I just received my splint and the DVD. So exited to start it. I was a bit disappointed when I realized I have to do excises 3 times a day and I am working!! So I will go with whatever I can manage for the afternoon session and nail the morning and evening. Starting it after this long weekend of camping... :)

    Day 3 with Tupler. So far it's going smooth and as expected. All exercises until week 3 are seated and I can do them while travelling and at work. Great!! Splint is not uncomfy but rather feels like a nice tight hug supporting my jelly belly.
