Hello @chioke ! I am one of the grokker expert coaches and I am also a pre and postnatal Exercise specialist. First of all if you have diastasis, keep track of the depth of the diastasis, and the width so you know you are making progress in the future. If you haven't already I'd recommend seeing a pelvic health physiotherspist as they can help you with amazing core and breathing exercises. Depending on how well your diastasis is functioning will depend on whether an exercise is deemed safe or not. If you are able to contract the abs and work the whole core without experiencing doming or coning through the abs then the Exercise may be ok. If when you do an exercise and even with the right breathing, you find the abs dome out then maybe the Exercise needs to be adjusted for you. So it is all person depending. If you're unsure, then for now maybe replace any an crunch style exercises with side plank style core work or front planks but with hands elevated on a bench or chair. Hope that's a bit helpful!
