There's no set time limit for this. It depends on genetics, metabolism, your food intake, activity level etc. Some women never lose their bellies and some have flat tummies after a few months.

It depends on the woman. Sometimes, the belly will never get back to a pre-pregnancy belly; however, with a lot of hard work and dedication, the woman can get it back to "normal."
Typically, there's stretch marks involved, which shouldn't be an issue.
I know someone who got back to a flat stomach in four weeks. Normally though, it can take a few months to a few years. Like I said, it depends on the woman.
Good luck!

It does not ever go back to "pre- baby" shape. Thats just the normal fact of life. It can however be started on some strengthening exercises to get some tone back and the mother can work on this if she has the time and the energy.

The womans belly? That really depends on her and how active she is. She may keep the little pooch, if she doesn't excercise and try and lose it. Some womens go down as soon as they give birth. Give her time and remember she had your baby.

depends on the type of body and weight she was before she got pregnant. i was over weight and had a tummy before having babies. but women that are in good shape before most of the time it goes back in 6 weeks to 9 months depending on the type of delivery. the drs say that it takes 9 months for your body to be back to normal. also she can start doing situps after her 6 week check and if the dr says it okay

The saying is nine months to gain the belly nine months to get rid of it. Some take less or more time depending on how active they are, or if they recover quickly from giving birth.

It varies from woman to woman. It can take up to a year for some or by the 6 week check up for others.

depends on the woman, her metabolism and if she works out. And even then she may never get back to pre-pregnancy tummy.
