So I have decided that the baby is not going to expand my uterus anteriorly anymore, but instead will continue growing into my chest cavity until my lungs are crushed and I suffocate to death.....

I feel like my ribs are breaking....what fun pregnancy can be.

The problem with being a scientist and pregnant is that I actually know (generally) what exactly is happening to my body when I feel this or that. For example: I know that the strange sensation I feel at the middle of my stomach ( feels like someone poking me really hard from the outside - not the inside) is really the two halves of my abdominal wall tearing apart....pleasant thought, no?
