will my uterus be swollen and still make me look pregnant?

It depends on your body type, how much weight you gained, and whether or not you are breastfeeding. Breastfeeding aids in contracting the uterus back to its normal shape. I was in my pre-pregnancy clothes when I left the hospital. One of the lucky ones, I guess...

They say to expect to look 5 months pregnant the first couple of weeks then the "swelling" will start to go down. I found this true with all of my kids. Almost as soon as the bleeding stopped I noticed a change. I was also breast feeding, this burns LOTS of calories!

Everyone is different, I for one, didn't look pregnant, but looked like my tummy had been deflated...ew! But I used the Postpardum belt in which you can get at Babies R US, and that worked within a month for me, my tummy went back to normal size...

It really depends on you. With my first child I was still wearing maternity shirts 6 weeks later. (I had also gained nearly 38lbs) with my son who was emergency c-section I was back in to my pre-pregnancy jeans in about 4 or 5 weeks.

40 weeks? Shouldn't you have given birth by now? 9 months times 4 weeks = 36 weeks.....

put it this way : it takes 9m to get that way..itll take 9m+ to get rid of it
but most goes away immediatly(the uterus part..it shrinks within 24-72hrs)
