If life was fair, the male would be giving birth like the seahorses do but alas, you are not a seahorse. Your baby weight won't drop off you overnight and it can take up to a few weeks until you start seeing some results. Don't be too caught up in your appearance though as you're a mother and your body has just went through hell and back so treat yourself to that extra cake. Big sweat pants are a must have for all women who have just given birth as you want to be comfortable and you will still bleed for a few weeks after you have given birth so you won't be too fussed if you ruin them.
