When does belly button go back in after pregnancy?

Question

I'm in my third trimester, and my belly button has popped out! I'm curious about how long it takes for the body to recover after delivery. When does the belly button usually go back in after pregnancy?

Don't worry, it usually goes back to its normal shape within a few weeks after delivery!

When I was recovering at my mother's place, she used to give me gentle abdominal massages which helped my tummy go down. My belly button went back to normal in about two months.

Currently in my 3rd trimester and my belly button looks like a doorbell! I am just hoping it goes back eventually. Other moms told me it takes a few months postpartum, so let's wait and see.

It usually takes about 2 to 3 months for the belly button to go back to normal. Just give your body some time to heal and don't try any weird home remedies to push it back.

I've been doing light walking and postpartum yoga since my doctor allowed it at 6 weeks. It slowly helps with core strength and the belly button gradually goes back. Don't rush the process, stay active safely.

Mine went back to normal around 6 weeks postpartum as my uterus shrank. Breastfeeding actually helps the uterus contract faster, which helps your belly get back in shape too.
