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.

The baby is in the uterus, and it (and the abdomen) gets bigger, it has nothing to do with the stomach. The uterus becomes considerably smaller after the baby is born, and the top of the uterus sits at about the level of the belly button, and then gradually get smaller over the next few weeks.
The abdomen as a whole, or as can be seen from the outside, may go almost straight back to a pre-pregnancy appearance but this is less common. Usually, the abdomen will loose the big “watermelon” shape and the woman will look only a couple of months pregnant, or they might have a little “pot belly”. Everyone is different though
