Fun Fact: Your ribs move up 2 inches when you are pregnant.
I wonder if twins move them up 4 inches? Because it sure as shit feels like they do.
So, the placentas are anterior, which means that they are in the front as opposed to posterior (in the back). Apparently this blocks a lot of the baby kicks--or so I've heard. However, this does not seem to block the round ligament pain or the weird rib cage pain that I can only assume is Baby B nestling in as close as possible to my lungs.
Sweet Jesus, I'm not sure that my poor organs are going to survive this pregnancy.
Meanwhile, there's no pretending that I'm not pregnant these days. My belly is ginormous already and I'm only 17 weeks pregnant. At this rate I'm going to have stretch marks on my stretch marks. Toward the end of this pregnancy I should just hire myself out as a walking safe sex ad to all of the local high schools. I could just go in there and scare the crap out of those poor children and hand out condoms.
Yours with a deficit of vim,
PBfish
