fruit tickers - papaya?

CnAnA · June 2012

So do the tickers show a papaya for like 3 weeks or what? I am seeing it for me at 22w and on the 23 weekers. What is it for 24w?

What I think is weird is that I was a banana last week and a pomegranate this week. In what world is a pomegranate longer than a banana???

Yes, they show papaya for a few weeks I think 22-24 maybe longer? I think the next one (eggplant) shows for a few weeks too. However, TB has a different sizing on their what's happening weekly pages. I think 23 weeks is grapefruit and 24 is cantaloupe in those.....

They are so silly. At 20 weeks I am a banana according to the website but a cantaloupe according to my ticker!

I noticed that too!! Thought it was strange?

There's something wrong with the measurements across the Bump. If you look at the weekly stats section for 23 and 24 weeks the height and weight measurements for baby are exactly the same, but they list different fruits.

And seriously, in what world is a pomegranate larger than a banana?

I also noticed that I have been a papaya for 2 weeks now. Strange!

I have a feeling the fruit tickers are having some issues...I was at 20 weeks and it said cantaloupe??! I looked on "How Big Is Baby" and cantaloupe wasn't for a few more weeks. I think there is a glitch or some sort of error. I don't know where to report the error though.

I like this app I have on my phone, because it chooses the most obscure fruits and vegetables ever to illustrate the size of my baby...like a Chinese cabbage, a crenshaw melon, or a "large jicama." Sometimes I guess there isn't a fruit around to choose from, so it just goes with "four navel oranges."

Perhaps the fruit sizing just gets more and more arbitrary the further along we get in our pregnancies?

I usually look at Babble's website for fruit comparisons now.

It's called Baby Bump. I don't really use it too often except to keep a running list of names we like, but I got to looking at the "Information" section (where they tell you how big baby is) one day with the MIL and just kinda giggled at the crazy fruits and veggies.

I use my "What to Expect" app when I want to see what fruit I am. The bump seems to be off a lot of the time! (This week I'm an ear of corn lol)

On a ticker aoo for my phone, I went from a banana to a beet???? I deleted the app, its kinda stupid. My fiance says it should say, baby is the size of a pebble, a stone, a larger stone a bigger stone than last week, a rock...and so on lol
