See how the small intestines are pushed to the top and sides. And the stomach is way up, almost into the ribcage. And the lungs got pushed up a lot, that explains why I feel short of breath just after one flight of stairs. Amazing how human body can adapt to such a huge change. The website provides all kinds of information one need to know about pregnancy and labor. Guess more reading for me.

Great Website
Found this website after some google searching. I was just curious about how my internal organs look like during pregnancy. This picture is very interesting, 28 weeks pregnant.
