Your baby is the size of ... (Christmas item)

So each week I find out the size of my baby in terms of fruit and veg. What size will your baby be on 25th December in terms of Christmas-themed things?

I reckon mine will be a Christmas cracker (22 weeks).

Who has a currant, a brussel sprout, a satsuma, a Terry's chocolate orange, a turkey crown or a full sized baby Jesus? Can we work out a suggestion for each week?

I'm 29+2 (and frigging huge!) so probably the size of a Christmas ham (though feels more like a giant turkey!)

5 weeks, so... an orange seed, or a clove? There aren't many tiny Christmas things!

I'll be 38 weeks Christmas Eve, so baby is roughly turkey sized and I have the physique of a large snowman.

Almost the same dates as my first one. I remember being pregnant at Christmas and stuffing the 9lb turkey and thinking how the fuck is something this huge supposed to come out of my vagina?

Glad everyone is enjoying the ovia app! Cute animals is my default setting too. But I agree - puffins are frigging huge! And definitely bigger than an aubergine?!

It's an app called Ovia Pregnancy. It's definitely available for iPhone and would guess you can get it for Android etc too.

Nice to have a due date buddy! Smile

I have the same app waxweasel. I normally have it on the vegetables or cute animals setting though so I must have missed the Yule log comparison. The puffin image this week freaked me out a bit too - I thought puffins were huge!

We're very nearly due date buddies, my due date is 5 April.
