While majority of tummy separations close themselves within 3 months postpartum, you can still close your tummy separation later in life with the correct advice, and health support. Your connective tissue, deep core and back muscles are just like all muscles - it's never too late to strengthen and improve them.
Assuming that you're performing your transverse ab exercises effectively and consistently while stopping the exercises and movements that counteract the improvements. I always have hope for improvement in strength, function and movement.

Yes, if you feel comfortable on your back then do so, if not you can adapt the exercises to either sitting or standing if your Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) has cleared you to do these core exercises, then it's a great time to start learning about and doing your deep core muscle exercises to aid with posture throughout pregnancy, birth and your recovery.

As with any exercise you do during pregnancy, keep listening to your body as you progress through pregnancy and keep in contact with your LMC as every pregnancy is different and every mum's body responds to exercises differently.

Everyone's journey, body and history are unique so no one can predict how long results will take.
However, you should feel that your transverse muscles have been exercised even from your first workout - if your technique is correct. When looking at general muscle strength, achieving optimum power usually takes 3 months. And this is all assuming that you're performing your transverse ab exercises correctly and consistently.

Many of my clients have experienced dramatic improvement to their core strength, tummy separation, lower back pain & pelvic floor symptoms within the 10 week program Tight Mummy Tummy & Bits which I've run for over 5 years - these core exercises are a part of that course.

If you do our 6 week KC Fit Core Restore program and decide it hasn't worked for you at all, contact us within 14 days and we'll give a full refund. 

You can do the program following the workout videos using a computer, smartphone or tablet. No other equipment is needed.

This all depends on your birth and recovery. Generally, as soon as you have healed to and have no pain you can activate your pelvic floor muscles and transverse ab muscles (c-section will need longer), then you are safe to get started. Starting exercises will bring blood flow to help with healing also. This program is designed to progress along uniquely with each mum.

If you have any specific questions about whether this is a good fit for you, please feel free to message Kirstyn directly. I can guide you more personally on whether I think the program is the correct fit for you. Or you can ask your Lead Maternity Carer, Women's Healthy Physio or GP first.

No. I recommend all women see a women's health physiotherapist about their specific body and needs. This program is a great addition to your toolkit, and will help your core dramatically, but it does not replace seeing a specialized Physiotherapist. Though this program has been thoroughly checked through and approved by a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist.

I advise you do the Transverse abdominal activators (taught in the program) everyday you're not doing a core workout to help feel results faster. 
The core workouts can be done every other day to allow time for recovery, or self guided listening to your body and the amount of recovery it needs.

Yes, while you'll need to wait for your stitches to heal (internally as well as externally), and be guided by any pulling on the edges of your internal stitches - once your deep core feels ready then this program will work really well to help with your balance and core stability. 

Seeing a Women's Health Physio post c-section to have your scaring checked and massaged can give results faster, no matter how far postpartum you are.
