how long does it take a woman's body to fully recover from pregnancy
Q: How long does it really take for a woman's body to return to its pre-pregnancy condition? A: The first six weeks are a time of healing, rebalancing and recovery. It takes the genital organs 6 weeks to 2 months to return to their original size and function. The pregnancy hormone relaxin, which increases the size and elasticity of connective tissues - ligaments, muscles - will remain in a new mothers body for up to 5 months.
