That's a very normal position for a very pregnant rat to take. It often occurs for the last week or so of their gestation and I assume is just a comfie way for them to lie without squishing all those baby rats inside them. They will often lay that way too (I call it the "dead rat flop" LOL) and take a nap while their babies pile on them to nurse.
