Expecting a Flat Stomach After Pregnancy? Think Again
Executive summary about Pregnancy Stomach by Jago Holmes

During pregnancy your stomach expands with the growth of your baby and the placenta. This extreme expansion in the size of your pregnancy stomach is only possible because your body produces the hormone 'relaxin'.

Relaxin is produced during the early part of the pregnancy in large quantities initially by the remnants of the egg shell left behind after ovulation and then by the placenta. Relaxin continues to be produced throughout the whole pregnancy right up until the birth. This hormone helps the abdominal muscles and pelvis to stretch allowing for the growth and eventual birth of the baby.

During pregnancy, the two bands of muscles separate down the midline of the body. The muscles will remain very weak, leaving both your spine and pelvis vulnerable to injury and unless specific post pregnancy pelvic tilting exercises are followed you may have seen the last of your flat stomach forever.

You will have also stored a large percentage of body fat around your pregnancy stomach and this will still be present after the birth.

You can do this in one of two ways:

Firstly by slightly reducing the amount of calories you are eating and drinking, therefore forcing your body in to using these fat stores for fuel.

Secondly by being active or exercising regularly thereby using the stored fat to generate energy. The placenta which has been nourishing the baby will be removed at birth and therefore most of the internal bulge will disappear after birth but there may still be some swelling remaining afterwards, so your stomach will look far from flat.

Finally you will need to exercise and strengthen the stomach muscles regularly especially in the early stages to both realign and tighten up the area.
