When will my bump deflate?

I had my D&E this morning at 22+4. Ever since I had the diagnosis two weeks ago I’ve found it so hard to look at my bump. I hate seeing it in the mirror and I don’t like touching it by accident. Every so often I deliberately put my hands on it and talked to my beautiful daughter and sent her all my love. But touching it by accident just reminds me that my bump will never grow and will never be a baby.

I want to feel good in my body so I can grieve her as a separate life and soul to mine, not as part of me. How long does it take to flatten out? It doesn’t seem much smaller now than it did before the procedure.

Tia. This sub has been my lifeline.
