Eli5. After the women gives birth, does the stomach deflate like a ballon or something?

This sounds so stupid and im well aware. So the baby is in the stomach and after it leaves the skin cant magically shrink right back to size again. So its like if you put a watermellon in a bag. Then took out the watermellon. You still have the huge bag (stomach). So is it like a deflated ballon or is it like some magic.

Breastfeeding will also have an effect. It speeds up the process by releasing oxytocin that causes muscle contraction in the uterus. It also helps excess baby weight gain lodd by burning an insane amount of calories.
