I know with 2y after this discussion started this is a bit later, but I can tell you I've met REAL human mothers with quite a lot of kids who were even THINNER than Athena is. Some women just have a body that goes back to its original shape after pregnancy quite well and sometimes also quite fast, and the ones I met mostly had a mother with the same kind of properties on this department, so i guess it's determined genetically.

Well since Athena appears to have breasts we can assume mermen are mammals (as it is the core property of female mammals to be able to give milk produced in their own bodies to their young), but since there is a real existing mammal laying eggs, and the reproduction of mermen never being revealed and Athena as a mermaid being half a fish (of which most of them lay eggs. Not all of them, as sharks do not lay eggs) the egg theory is also a plausible option here...
