How long until your belly goes back to normal?

Ladies! How long did it take for your belly to go back to "normal" after giving birth? I know it wont go back exactly how it was before pregnancy, but I am just curious! Im a ftm 28 weeks!

I've had 2 kids and my stomach went back after a month. Then again I was active before pregnancy, during pregnancy.  And I was breastfeeding. It all depends on your body. I am 5'2" and weigh about 110. So it all depends on several factors.

I think it all depends on your size.I'm a very small girl.With my first my belly went down as soon as I gave birth!Doctors couldn't belive it.I had a very small belly and my baby came out healthy at 8 pounds 10 ounces.I am now pregnant with my second. Almost 5 months and belly still not showing.

Well I've had c sections every time... With my first it took a little over a year. My second took about 3 months, (then I gained 40lbs due to birth control...boo). I just had my third 6 weeks ago and I'm sure it will take a year again. But I'm pushing to try and make it sooner!
