at least 4-6 weeks, much longer for many women. It depends on how much weight you have gained. Remember, it took you nine moths to get to this point, it can't reverse instantly

Those women just had a baby!!! It's nine months of pushing and stretching on those abdominal muscles. Also 9 months where they aren't getting the normal exercise since it's recommended that you avoid heavy abdominal workouts. It takes at the minimum a month or so for those muscles to be able to bounce back to the previous placement. Some women the muscles never go back.

I'd say if you are breastfeeding youll see a difference in about 2 weeks! The baby story is like 3 days after and thats normal to look that way your uterus is still shrinking at that time. But breatfeeding definatly helps!

I consider myself lucky after having my son, which was a full term pregnancy. normally I am very small person but when I got pregnant i gained 56 pounds. i thought i would never look the same but i was wrong. i wore my maternity clothes home from the hospital with safety pins there wasn't any fat just loose skin. By the end of the first week the skin tightened up and i was back in the same body i had nine months earlier.
