Tips To Get Rid Of Your “Pregnancy Pouch”

It generally takes women six to eight weeks for their stomach to shrink back down to normal size after giving birth.

The tummy tends to grow during pregnancy, along with uterus expansion as a woman’s uterus has to make room for the growing baby. It enlarges over the pubic bone, and pushes out the abdomen during pregnancy. As a result, women can look up to six months pregnant after giving birth.

The uterus is slow to deflate after pregnancy, but a well-tageted effort can help you overcome the ‘Pregnancy Pouch.’ However there are certain factors that may influence the time taken including the woman’s age, the size of the baby, the method of delivery and her weight before getting pregnant – can affect how long it takes her bump to shrink, as well.

Breastfeeding helps, especially in the early months after childbirth. Women who breastfeed burn extra calories to make milk. Nursing also triggers contractions that help shrink the uterus, making it a workout for the whole body.
