I have a very silly question re: fruit tickers

You know TB's fruit tickers? This week my little ones are sweet peas. When they do the fruit of the week, are they measuring the size of the gestational sac or the size of the actual babies?

Silly question, but inquiring minds need to know lol

I'm pretty sure they mean the size of the babies!

And I think the fruits/veggies are kind of silly.  Like "onion"...okay, how big of an onion?  A sweet potato like I am this week - I have a sweet potato at home that could serve 4 people.  It's very difficult to understand and I'll never understand the cucumber.  But congrats on your sweet peas!  (That one I can visualize )

I'm pretty sure it's the baby, too.  But a lot of them don't make any sense, especially some of the later ones.  Like a cantaloupe and eggplant are both before a banana....a banana is clearly MUCH smaller than any cantaloupe or eggplant I've ever seen, so it makes no sense lol.  Like this week mine says blueberry and last week it said sweet pea...I've definitely seen blueberries way smaller than peas.

I think it's supposed to be the crown to rump measurement when you get into later development, so yea, that's the babies's size! 

Although I agree with the other ladies... the fruits/veggies often don't make a lot of sense. For example, I'm from GA and a peach here is HUGE, but they think it's smaller than lemon? Very confusing. Plus, I've found that some weeks my bump home page says a different fruit/veggie than my ticker does. It's still kinda fun though. Congrats on your sweet peas!

Haha ok thank you guys! The banana and cucumber one totally threw me for a loop too! You'd think they would have stuck to round shaped objects!
