Why Do I Still Look Pregnant?

It takes time for your body ,and especially tummy to fully recover from pregnancy.
You've had your baby but you may look as if you are still six months pregnant,with a tummy that's rounder than you expected.  The decrease in your tummy size may be slow but it will be steady.

From the moment your baby is born,hormonal changes causes your tummy to decrease in size. However,it takes another six to eight weeks for your womb to contract to it's pre-pregnancy size. 

The extra fluid that built up in your body during pregnancy will gradually decrease ,reducing swelling and bloating. And any extra fat you put on to nourish your baby will start to burn off ,esp if you are breastfeeding and exercising. But it takes at least a few weeks to see noticeable results.

After giving birth,you may still have a dark line down your tummy called a Linea nigra, as well as web of stretch marks.
Stretch marks are caused by your skin stretching over your fast growing body during pregnancy. you may have them on your tummy thighs and breasts.

 You cant get rid of stretch marks completely,but they will fade over time. eventually ,the line will look like fine streaks that are closer to your skin color. try to be patient.
You may not like your stretch marks now ,but they will look a lot better in six months'time.

 i hope you find the information provided in the publication to be informative.
