When comparing baby's size to objects what weeks do you use?

Question

The glow app says I'm 3 weeks and 5 days, which I'm guessing is around the first day of my last period. And when I take a pregnancy or blood test I'm 2 weeks pregnant.

I see cute things online and on Pinterst about comparing the baby's size to poppy seeds, oranges, etc but I'm not sure what which reading I'm supposed to use?

Answer

That early you are definitely a poppy seed.

Answer

Most apps don't start telling you size until 4-5 weeks. At 5 weeks, baby is the size of a poppy seed. At 3 1/2-4 weeks, most women don't even know they're pregnant and implantation of the cells has JUST occurred. (I knew but most don't test until missed period) I love this app because it tells you the size of the baby as you go compared to fruits/seeds as well as actual sizing (weight, length). You can also skip ahead all the way to 40 weeks to see how your baby grow. So like, I would look at what baby would be like in a week, a month, etc. There is also Ovia which shows you (once they're developed) how big baby's hands are compared to a full term newborn and let's you choose the 'object' your baby compares to in size. Such as fruits, French bakery, small mammals... I don't care as much for the bump just because it's not as interactive.

Answer

Google - baby size not fruit -

Answer

I have the bump app. My baby started as a lentil bean when I was just looking on the Internet but The Bump app started her as a sweet pea. That was at 6 weeks since that's when I found out I was pregnant. They are probably roughly the same size and weight and either is easy for me to picture in my mind.  It's just to give you a visual of how big your baby actually is and in relation to your own body. I don't think it matters what site you use.  Just use whatever is easiest for you to visualize.
