Uterus still pudgy/swollen at 5 weeks pp?

Question

My lower abdominal area is still pretty pudgy at 5 weeks pp. Is it possible my uterus is still swollen or does this mean I have diastasis recti at this point? How could I tell the difference?I've had a previous pregnancy and dont feel like it took this long to go down last time.

Answer

It’s probably just pudgy

Answer

I’ll be 6 weeks postpartum on Tuesday and I definitely feel swollen still from my c-section.

Answer

I’m five weeks as well and still have a pudge, but I know I don’t have diastasis recti. Some of it is just baby weight still, and some of it is just the fact that everything was so stretched out. Thats just my case. At this point your uterus would definitely be back down behind your pelvic bone though
