I've said it before, but I had such curiosity about where the ovaries go during pregnancy.. did they stretch to the top, stay near the cervix? Where do they go? Well here you have it ladies and gentlemen... the ovaries essentially stay in place on the uterus, but as it stretches they move upward in the abdomen.
πΈπ€°β¨ The Amazing Uterus! β¨π€°πΈ
Did you know your uterus starts off about the size of a pear π before pregnancyβ¦ and by full term itβs the size of a watermelon π?! π±πͺ
Thatβs an organ that can stretch up to 500x its original size to grow and protect a baby πΆπ
As it expands, it doesnβt just grow upward, it literally rearranges your insides π«π«π©»
β’ It pushes your stomach π² and intestines π up and to the side
β’ It presses on your bladder π¦ (hello, extra bathroom trips π½π)
β’ It even nudges your lungs π« making it harder to take those deep breaths
Your body is basically remodeling your insides to make room for new life π β‘οΈπΆβ¨
How incredible is that?! ππ
π A true reminder that pregnancy is POWERFUL, messy, miraculous, and nothing short of badass πͺπ₯π
