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.

As the fetus grows in the uterus, it expands from being pear sized to watermelon sized. This growth happens over the pubic bone which pushes out the abdomen causing the “pregnant” look. After delivery it takes 6-8 weeks for the uterus to shrink back down to pear sized again. The abdomen will shrink back into place as well.
