I've just started a rehab program to close the 5cm gap in my tummy muscles. I remember sitting in bed a day or two after DS2 was born and something protruding up through the gap and I was thinking what the?? Wore a tubie grip thing and it went down. Anyway, the pilates instructor I saw yesterday was measuring the gap at different points and said that she could feel where it was starting to herniate a bit. I'm wearing a splint and doing Tubler technique exercises for the next few months to close the gap. I had 3 kids in 4 years and the boys were big ones (4.1 & 4.7kgs). If you look up The Belly Firm online, you can read more about it. The exercises might be useful for after surgery, to make sure that it doesn't happen again. I did a 1 hr consult and paid for the splint (in Macedon). Not sure if you've been told that you have to have surgery or whether this program would help? Might be worth giving them a call as see what they can suggest?
