People online flooded the comments section expressing their shock
According to the American Pregnancy Association, the average uterus before pregnancy is the size of an orange.
In the third trimester of pregnancy, the uterus grows to about the size of a watermelon.
After birth, the uterus goes through a process called involution. This causes the uterus to empty and return to its pre-pregnancy size.
This process takes approximately six weeks.
People online flooded the comments section expressing their shock.
One person said: “My jaw dropped oh my god I didn't expect that.”
Someone else commented: “This is so cool.” “The human body is amazing.”
“Woah,” another person added.
A fourth user wrote: “Another reason not to have kids.”
