When you still look pregnant after giving birth

It’s because your ✨uterus✨ hasn’t gone back down yet 😘

Obviously this is a joke and I know better since I just gave birth to my 6th kid BUT growing up I had NO idea! I thought your belly would deflate like a balloon as baby exited the body 😂. I never thought about the uterus needing time to go back down.

Of course everyone is different but having a pregnant looking belly the weeks following birth is normal for most of us. So why isn’t it normalized in our society? Why do we feel the need to make it look like we didn’t just have a baby and hide any signs of postpartum? Why aren’t postpartum bellies normalized despite it being very much part of the normal process?

It’s strange really. Like we are ashamed it’s not flat despite it being completely out of our control. Just some food for thought. I am now thinking of wearing my postpartum belly more proudly in the coming days ❤️❤️

(Also for anyone who thinks I filmed this while still pregnant, you can see my husband holding the baby at the bottom right hand corner in the beginning of this video. This was also taken in the postpartum room not an L&D Room 😉)

I'm still working on getting back my pre-pregnancy body; my baby is 37 years old! 😂

I read that it takes about 9 months for your body to get back to normal. 9 months in and 9 months out!

Remember: celebrity moms look that good because it's the job of a bunch of people to keep them looking good. They don't have to get up at 2am to do anything except pee.

I literally brought my regular pre-pregnancy pants with me to the hospital because I thought that I'd be able to fit in them after 😭😭😭

It's so weird. But it was the opposite for me. As soon as I had my babies I had a flat stomach walking out the hospital. Then my belly slowly got bigger as the weeks went by. I was so confused.

Congratulations on baby #6! ❤I’ve been watching your videos and have found such comfort in them. I just had my husband and i’s first baby girl in June and I watched so many of your videos during my pregnancy. It was a dark time and watching you talk about all things motherhood and marriage and just life brought a lot of comfort.

Watching your long video on the birth made me reminisce last year when I gave birth to my baby girl. It was so emotional and beautiful I actually miss that feeling 😄
