    don't stress, love - it's super common. They give you a tube which is like a tight legwarmer which goes from under your boobies to your hips, which helps (the same way a bandage on your arm helps support it).

    and they give you some very gentle basic exercises to do a couple of times a day, which help too.

    even with all my other problems post birth, etc, I went from a quite big separation ("four fingers" meaning as wide as the width of your index to baby fingers) to no separation in a month or two.

    It doesn't hurt, and it's really very common.

    They can probably give you some ideas of how to not make it any worse, but don't let it upset you

    sorry to hear that, kate! mine didn't, and I hadn't heard of it hurting before. I hope it's better now?
