    Hi Bab's

    Have you let your midwife know? They usually come and see you at home a few times after you have a baby.

    That's your uterus .It is now trying to shrink back to prepregnancy size.It will raise up inyour abdomen if your bladder fills so empty your bladder frequently.It take about 3 weeks to go done .
