Why do some women have a bloated stomach post-pregnancy? Like the baby got out, isn’t it supposed to flatten?
In: Biology
What may appear to be a bloated stomach could be a weakening of the muscles of the abdominal wall, as well as stretching of tendons and ligaments in the general area, so abdominal organs bulge outward.
Sometimes time and exercise fix it (if the mom can ever get time to exercise after looking after baby 24×7) and sometimes surgery is necessary if there is sagging and moving of the internal organs that need to be repositioned.
And, for some it’s just the after effects of a pregnancy.
