How long does it take for your uterus to go back down?
How long does it take for your uterus to go back down after a C section? I am just wondering if it's a long time. It's ben 6 weeks and I just wanted to know if I can expect it to go down any more so I can know how big I am going to be.

6 weeks...
it takes 6 weeks for it to shrink down to its org size...
but that doesn't mean what u have now won't disappear, i had a c-section as well and due to the inactivity of muscle it was still kinda big, i found there was a significant change in size when i hit the 6 mo mark. it also helps to start re-strengthening your muscles.
i breastfeed.

It takes about 6 weeks. I don't think it matters if it is a c-section or not, I had a vaginal delivery and 2 c-sections. usually at 6 weeks, you go back to the doctor, and she/he will check your uterus (they did for me) and also check your incision.
If you breastfeed, the uterus tends to go down sooner, and you will get your pre-pregnant body back sooner.
