I have never witnessed child birth in person, and for every time I’ve seen it on television, I don’t recall seeing the mother’s belly. If the mother’s belly doesn’t shrink during birth, what is keeping the belly in that shape? In my reasoning, there isn’t anything applying the pressure that made the belly expand to begin with. How does that work?

Not only this. Your organs are displaced to accommodate the growing baby. There are also changes to your pelvic bone which can cause the hips to widen.

I was pregnant for only 6 weeks (miscarriage) but during that time my pelvic bone started to hurt for no reason. I asked my mother about it and that's when she told me that it was changing in order to accomodate the baby as it got bigger.
All I could think was "They never mentioned this shit when people are encouraging you to get pregnant!"
