    Right now I'm focused on just dropping the weight and trying to get the fat off my stomach area, but once I get the all clear at my 6 week checkup I plan to do planks/push ups and circuit training that incorporates abs like I did after my first. I believe there are specific exercises for working on that problem though, if I remember what I Google'd after thinking I had it after my daughter.

    Have you also asked your doctor what they suggest to help? :)

    I'm just eating well and doing the bikini body mommy 5.0 workouts. She has an ab workout also.

    I second checking in with your doctor-depending on how big your separation is, PT might help.

    I also had bad seperation. I was told to not do most ab workouts. So hopefully with clean eating, the fat will melt away. They always say- "Abs are made in the kitchen"!

    By then maybe the tummy fat will just disappear. Cant wait to have a waist again!

    I lost a ton of core strength so that's my focus right now but lots of core strengtheners will help with the tummy too... When baby is on the floor playing I lay down with her and do planks. I hate planks but she seems to enjoy my groaning and grunting and my silly faces lol. So my exercise turns into good her and me time :)
