Discover the Size of Your Baby: Amazing Fruit Comparisons in Photos!

When you’re pregnant, you often look forward to ultrasound appointments that allow you to meet your baby, discover it, and see its tiny size, which gradually changes as the pregnancy progresses. The baby grows rapidly and continues to develop so swiftly that you might find it hard to keep up and visualize what it looks like. For instance, at 18 weeks of pregnancy, your doctor or midwife might tell you that the baby averages 20 cm in length and weighs about 250 g, which can be hard to picture. Often, it’s easier to compare the baby’s size to that of a fruit.

For example, at 18 weeks, your baby is roughly the size of an artichoke, and by the end of your pregnancy, it will be the size of a melon, then a watermelon! This fruit comparison can be more illustrative! From poppy seeds to pears, apples, corn cobs, eggplants, and even pineapples… here are the fruity comparisons for your baby’s size!
