The most important discussion ever

in December 2014 Moms
I am starting to get very confused by the bump fruit chart to track baby's growth. The fruits are all over the place, size-wise. I also find myself in the produce aisle every week staring at whatever fruit of vegetable the baby is supposed to be and wondering if baby is in fact the larger avocado or the smallest one. Then I inevitably get a craving and wander off. That's all I have to say about that.

    Agreed! And, my other apps use different fruit or use the same fruit a week earlier/later. It is all very confusing! Why can't an internet app accurately compare the size of my fetus with a fruit! I mean, come on, it isn't rocket science! :)

    I bet doctors have an accurate fruit scale that they aren't sharing with us!!
    LOL!!

    I had one app that went from large cabage a "bunch of asparagus" - the hell? How big is that? Is that really bigger than a cabbage?
    And please tell me babies don't actually get to the size of watermelons. That sounds really painful :P

    Instead of an onion for week 17 I had another app say pomegranate and that seemed a lot more accurate to me haha or at least more easily recognized

    My husband and I joke about this all the time. I make him guess what the size is every week and he always gives me some crazy answer like a cheez-it or a gallon of ice cream. With my cravings lately I am going to have to politely suggest he picks some healthier items.

    Now these are things I can relate to:

    -Week 6: Your baby is teeny tiny. About the size of a large piece of Nerd’s candy.
    -Week 10: The growing morsel in your abdomen is about ½ an inch in length and roughly the size of a Hershey Kiss.
    -Week 12: Your little one is about 2 inches long and about the size of a chicken nugget.
    -Week 14: Measuring in at 3 ½ inches that little peanut is now about the length of a fun-size candy bar.
    -Week 15: The little sweetie in your belly is now 4 inches long and the size of a Twinkie!
    -Week 17: At this point your baby measures 5 inches long and is about the same size as a regular hamburger from popular fast food chains.
    -Week 19: Your baby has grown an inch in the last 2 weeks rounding out 6 inches in length. The size of a hard-shell taco!
    -Week 20: After the major growth spurt that usually happens this week your baby is now the size of a personal pan pizza, between 9-10 inches.
    -Weeks 23/24: Your belly resident is now the size of a foot long sub…that’s 12 inches for anyone less than proficient in measurements and/or math.
    -Week 28: Baby is a whopping 15 inches and is the size of an average family size bag of potato chips.
    -Week 32: Another 2 inches! Baby is 17 inches and the size of an EXTRA-large pizza.
    -Week 36: Although your baby may not weigh as much as a 24 case of soda, he is as long as one (18 inches)!
    -Week 40: DONE! Your baby is fully grown and is the size of a whole turkey

    I have a full-size candy bar!


    For real....this made so much more sense then the healthy fruit one. I LOLd by the time I got to chicken nugget. :)
    My LO is a Twinkie :)

    I get the weekly Pregnant Chicken emails (sign up for them at the site if you haven't, they're hilarious). Last week, the author said I was at the size of an avocado but then wrote that cupcakes are more fun so it's the size of a cupcake. Haha. This week, she compared it to a grenade. Which is pretty accurate considering it's awesome effects on heart burn, comfort while sleeping, and bowels.

    I went to an organic store and each naval orange was like 2 pounds and giant! I just looked at them and shock my head, I know my baby isn't the size of medium size ball, and doesn't weight two pounds.

    I'm week 16 on not on the list. Corndog, maybe? Or deep fried Twinkie? (The extra batter makes it longer.)

    This is the most important discussion ever.  Thank you for saying this.  I thought I was the only one who was frustrated by this!  the new app I downloaded seems much more on point in the use of fruit and veggies each week.  Also - the bump app just updated on my phone the other day and now tells me that I am 15 weeks and 6 days pregnant with 25 weeks and 1 day to go.  When I add that up, that is 41 weeks ...... the other app tells me I am 15 weeks 6 days pregnant with 24 weeks and 1 day to go.  Why is accuracy so hard Bump????

    I have a twinkie. I hate twinkies. 

    I also feel bad eating the food that the internet tells me my baby is the size of. Like this week I craved ice cold lemonade. Of course TB tells me my baby is the size of a lemon. 
    @chayshay1408 - Your comment made me laugh...

    I lingered in the produce section for way to long the other day, walking back and forth for the different sizes in Avocado. How did it get smaller from last week?! #pregnantgirlproblems.

    I did this too.  Then, likely in an effort to keep me moving, DH pointed out that it most certainly refers to crown-to-rump, and sure enough - the avocado was longer than the naval orange.  So maybe it just means length after all?
