According to the American Pregnancy Associationthe average uterus is the size of an orange before pregnancy.
During the third trimester of pregnancy, the uterus will grow to about the size of a watermelon.
After delivery, the uterus goes through a process known as involution, during which the uterus deflates and returns to its pre-pregnancy size.
This process takes approximately six weeks.
People on the internet flooded the comments section expressing their shock.
One person said: 'My jaw dropped, I didn't expect that.'
Someone else said: 'This is so cool. The human body is amazing.'
“Woah,” another person added.
