weight loss after pregnancy

Question for young mum's :) I'm 26 weeks with my first baby and I'm just wondering how long it can take for you belly to go down and to lose the weight after my pregnancy? I know that my body needs to recover before I can start exercising after and everyone is different. But how long did it take you girls? :) xxx

Um I am small.... with my first I started at 110 pounds and gained 35. I lost all of it except 5 pounds within 4 weeks. Never had to go to the gym or exercise. I did breastfeeding about 2 weeks. And I stayed 115 until I got pregnant again 5 years later. Good luck. Everyone's body is different .
