Google to the rescue!
It took a little bit, but I finally found an image of a pregnant person's internal organs at 28 weeks (I'm almost 27 weeks):
WTF?
My small intestines are pushing into my ribs! My bladder is constantly being flattened (it's the unlabeled triangle shaped one at the bottom)! My stomach is displacing my poor lungs -- no wonder I'm out of breath after one flight of stairs.
I don't know how many of you took an anatomy class, but I am completely surprised by this knowledge. Grosser, the large intestine is apparently pushed to the SIDE.
That's so weird.

That kind of grossed me out. Is your stomach almost at your neck? That freaks me out!!!!
Yeah. I was pretty impressed that your stomach is currently right behind your boobs. Do they look bigger after you eat?
