Your uterus is one of the most impressive parts of you!

🌸🤰✨ The Amazing Uterus! ✨🤰🌸

Did you know your uterus starts off about the size of a pear 🍐 before pregnancy… and by full term it’s the size of a watermelon 🍉?! 😱💪

That’s an organ that can stretch up to 500x its original size to grow and protect a baby 👶💖

As it expands, it doesn’t just grow upward, it literally rearranges your insides 🫀🫁🩻
• It pushes your stomach 🍲 and intestines 🍝 up and to the side
• It presses on your bladder 💦 (hello, extra bathroom trips 🚽😂)
• It even nudges your lungs 🫁 making it harder to take those deep breaths

Your body is basically remodeling your insides to make room for new life 🏠➡️👶✨

How incredible is that?! 🌍💜

🌟 A true reminder that pregnancy is POWERFUL, messy, miraculous, and nothing short of badass 💪🔥👑

-Love,

Ever wonder what happens to your blood when it’s drawn? About fifteen minutes after a draw, we spin it down and the magic happens! Thank you to my mama that agreed to share her blood tube pictures in the name of education!

Did you know how much your uterus can grow in a pregnancy? Your uterus starts its journey teeny tiny and flat behind your p***c bone. That's the hard bone on the very front and bottom of your pelvis. Showed on this model in the front of the body with yellow/white coloration. By the time your pregnancy is advanced into the end of the third trimester, your uterus will grow right up to the bottom of your ribcage. At this point it's not uncommon to experience a "drop". This is an event known as "lightening" where your baby's head engages and you suddenly find you have more very breathing room. It is more commonly noticed in first time moms! After birth, your uterus will end up at about the level of your belly button. Over the course of a few weeks, the process of "uterine involution" will bring your uterus back down to its pre pregnancy size. Tucked neatly back into its cozy home behind your p***c bone!

What do you think? Isn't the uterus an amazing thing to grow so large and so tiny again? If you have been pregnant before what did you notice about your changing uterus?
