The abdomen does not decrease in size right after birth, only after months of training and fitness will the size decrease in about four months.
How long will it take for my uterus to shrink?By the time you go into labor, your uterus is about 15 times heavier (not including its contents!) and its capacity is at least 500 times greater than before you conceived. Within minutes after your baby is born, contractions cause your uterus to shrink, clenching itself like a fist, its crisscrossed fibers tightening in the same way they do during labor.
These contractions cause the placenta to separate from the uterine wall. After the placenta is delivered, the uterus clamps down even more, closing off open blood vessels in the area where the placenta was attached. As the uterus continues to contract, you may feel cramps known as afterpains.
For the first couple of days after birth, you can feel the top of your uterus at or a few finger widths below the level of your belly button. In a week your uterus weighs about a pound - half of what it weighed at delivery. After two weeks it's down to a mere 11 ounces and located entirely within your pelvis. By four to six weeks, it should be close to its pre-pregnancy weight of about 2.5 ounces. This process is called involution of the uterus.
Even after your uterus shrinks back into your pelvis, you may continue to look somewhat pregnant for several weeks or longer. That's because your abdominal muscles get stretched out during pregnancy, and it will take time - and regular exercise - to get your belly back in shape.

Yes, grasshoppers do ventilate. When they contract the muscles in their abdomen, it forces air out through the tracheae. The abdomen goes back to its normal state when the muscles relax.
Breastfeeding infact causes the uterus to shrink back to normal size faster, lessening the chance of postbirth bleeding.

Not really. Your pulse and respirations come back to normal very quickly. Your blood pressure could go up during delivery and may take a few hours to return to normal. Note: Moms suffering from Toxemia will be carefully monitored.
