    My understanding is that once you've had a baby, you should never do sit ups again. There are other exercises which are actually better anyway. I do clinical pilates and there's a number of things we do that are effective.

    I've never heard that before. I think you can get your GP to have a look and then if you get the ok ease back into them. If they aren't ok get a physio to help you out.

    I was wondering the same thing, I had a 7cm separation and was told not to do sit-ups. They showed me the same exercises that HotI mentioned and I have been doing them. I have no idea what the separation is like now, at 4 weeks PP it was down to 4cm.
