Just wondering if any moms have dealt with diastasis recti after having baby. Dr stated I have a slight separation and I'm looking for advice to help it.

    Yes! I have this!! I had a EMC in March, can see the muscles split. I try to avoid sit ups and 'pull in' my muscles throughout the day, also practice yoga in the 'cat' position. Not sure if it's working tbh.

    I have a 2cm gap. I was given exercises by my gp but 9 months later my gap is still there

    Sorry to say this but 9 years later I still have quite a good gap.. I still train my core like normal though (my separation is above my belly button) I'm reasonably happy with my stomach now but sometimes stick my fingers in the gap lol
