How long does it take for your stomach to get back to flat after giving birth

After giving birth, the uterus and pelvic organs have not yet fully recovered, so the stomach will still be slightly bulging, which is a normal phenomenon, and usually will gradually return to flatness in about 6-7 weeks. The enlarged uterus is basically located at the level of the flat umbilicus after delivery, so the belly of a woman after giving birth is still in a bulging state. After delivery, the uterus recovers at a rate of about 1-2 cm per day, so it will return to its non-pregnant state in about a month and a half. If the abdomen does not return to the pre-pregnancy state after 6-7 weeks after delivery, it may be due to obesity or separation of the rectus abdominis muscle, and even some mothers’ abdomen may never return to the pre-pregnancy state. About 1 week after giving birth, you can start to do rehabilitation exercises, such as proper sit-ups, yoga and other exercises to exercise the abdominal muscles, in order to promote the abdomen to recover as soon as possible.
