In TT (teacher training) last time we were talking about the lungs, diaphragm, and all that good anatomy stuff relating to breathing.
Pregnancy came up, and one thing led to another, and my teacher informed us that for 45 minutes after a woman gives birth you can push your hand straight through the stomach and touch the spine. Yiy!
All the organs had been moved aside to make room for baby and after 45 minutes they are back in place. Awesome.

Yikes! I am trying to decide if I think this little known fact is super cool or super gross! I think I am leaning towards cool. :) Thanks for sharing - it is amazing how our bodies adapt.
