Babies vs. Food
June 15th, 2007Does it disturb anyone else that the relative size of a baby during pregnancy seems to always be compared to food? I was reading a guide recently that had the following monthly comparisons:
- Month 1: smaller than a grain of rice
- Month 2: smaller than a grape
- Month 3: as long as a pickle
- Month 4: as long as a carrot
- Month 5: as long as an eggplant
- Month 6: as long as a pineapple (ouch!)
- Month 7: as long as a whole piece of celery
- Month 8: as long as a watermelon (yikes!)
- Month 9: as long as a loaf of Italian bread (couldn’t they just say “as long as a baby?”)
