You know something we don’t get taught often? Why bodies with uteri often have a slight pouche. You wanna know why? Because the uterus leans against the outside wall of the abdominal cavity. The uterus is literally making that little pouche, the belly that we call fat all the fucking time, and that’s why it’s so fucking hard to get a absolutely flat belly! And thank fuck for having a female anatomy professor who is old enough and feminist enough to not give a damn and cheerfully tell us all the details that a male professor might have thought unimportant. Cause fuck this society that ignores organs in order to fat-shame us.
I had no idea. Like, absolutely no idea.
i did not know this at all
I have known for a long time but ONLY BECAUSE!! of this drawing guide for Lilo and Stitch that specifically directs the artists to draw the lil uterus bulge. I saw it many years ago and I think about it every time I look at myself and feel bad for not seeing a straight line.
so the pouche is totally normal and meant to be there but this isn’t why mostly because thats not where your uterus is
the uterus is further back behind the bladder and small intestines and then behind your abnominal muscles and the fat on top of them – which is supposd to be there both those things provide protection for your internal organs, you do build fat there to project the uterus and everything else but that’d be why you’d build more fat there than someone who doesnt have one – even if the uterus was further forward (and frankly, larger) it doesnt go internal organs then skin itd still be that fat and muscle creating the little pouche
depends a bit how your muscles work but you could have no fat at all on your lower abdomen (probably not very good for you to actually try this, people who have like washboard abs still have some fat there) and still not be totally flat cause you have a muscle there…
