I know it takes awhile, my doctor said at least 6 weeks, for your uterus to go down, I was 24 weeks when Eli was born, but how long did it take for your uterus to go down? It has been 3 weeks but I had to have the csection redone so it's been two weeks since the second csection. It's just I am tired of looking pregnant when I'm not, my baby is always in my mind, but looking pregnant just seems cruel. While I've been pregnant before, I didn't pay attention to how long it took because it wasnt a painful reminder or topic you hope people don't ask about. How long did it take you?

Mommy Zinger. It took me about a month and that's only because I didn't have an appetite and I wasn't eating. After two months now, I still have a belly but not a pregnant belly. There are times when I suck it in when I'm in public so people won't get the wrong idea and ask me. It's depressing to look at my belly or even touch it because I know my precious Evelyn is not there anymore.
