re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

I guess we're supposed to assume that the list of "experts" to the left of this explanation have determined that this strange looking root veggie is an accurate description of what's in my uterus. Somehow I think they've fallen short - just as their servers do on nearly a daily basis! Might serve them well to advertise for SOMEONE BESIDES THEMSELVES to generate some revenue to spruce up their site and infastructure! Thank god I didn't invest in this corp!

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

I can't stand the veggies and fruit comparisons. The squash is totally round and my baby is almost 15 inches long. I want to compare her to something else not a round object.

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

I like the veggie/fruit comparisons!  It gives me something solid and familiar to compare the size of my baby to.  (Although the squash is a bit weird...  bigger than an eggplant but smaller than honeydew lemon works for me!)

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

Hmmm... I also like the comparison...  What, other than an actual BABY, could they compare it to - unless you want them to ask you to imagine an animal, like a dog, in your uterus... I'd rather think of fruits & veggies - they give me something solid & familiar to consider in terms of average weight/size.

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

I HATE the comparisons that this site offers. I feel as if we can't handle a real life perspective of what our baby's size is and what the baby might look like. Give me a REAL medical description and also tell me what is happening inside my body i.e. uterus to abdominal cavity ratio!!!!! Don't treat me as if I am an infant too...

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

Since every pregnant woman is different, giving a real medical description along with what is happening inside your body wouldn't be accurate for everyone. I like the comparisons and think they are cute. It's just something to relate to week by week. Personally, I wasn't THRILLED with the squash example, but it's a nice addition to the website that thenestbaby.com doesn't really HAVE to offer. Why are we complaining?

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

As another woman pointed out, the pounds and inches ARE listed.  I think this is a fine comparison.  It's meant to give us an IDEA of baby, not the actual medical description and everyone is different.  I'm carrying twins and my babies are 2 1/2 + lbs at 29 weeks, compared to my cousin who only is carrying one and hers is only 3 lbs at 33 weeks.  We're all different and this is just a tool to help us get an idea.  If you don't like it, don't use it.  There are a million other pregnancy websites out there!

Wow, everyone is so testy!  It's just a comparison, it's not like, EXACT... and there are actual measurements there, right under the photo if you look...... I find it funny that people are asking for real "medical" descriptions.... being pregnant isn't medical at all, it's natural and normal and has nothing to do with the practice of medicine (or shouldn't).  We are pregnant ladies, not sick or dying - no medical attention required unless there is something wrong!  Personally, I just click on these things for the info (although there's hardly ANY info offered to describe what's happening to baby and mom), the comparisons are cute - not exact, and not the same for everyone.  Some ladies need to chill out........ it's just an example!

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

If you dont like the comparisons, go somewhere else, they are not forcing you to compare your baby to anything.  Also, they have inches and pounds right up under the fruit that you hate so much, so you can feel free to take out a ruler and see how long your baby might be.  For goodness sakes what is with all the complaining!

for those getting a little over dramatic about the use of a squash( there must be bigger problems in the workld) I say please go to a medical sight if you want medical opinion, again I agree that each women is different so this will not be accurate anyway, and this comparison is helpful for those people who, one know that there is a baby inside and not a squash, and two want to reference a size. I like the comparisons Also for those who say one looks bigger than the other READ THE INCHES AND POUNDS!!! (which I think are clearly marked!!!)

I like the comparisons, b/c, unlike in "What to Expect" which shows an illustration in utero, (which is a hard concept to grasp), a fruit and veggie is a tangible thing that if I wish I can go find and see the size.  And really, if you don't like the comparisons, then what are you still doing looking at it 29 weeks into it?  :-)  Just an observation.

My little boy definitely is moving around a LOT!  I can actually sit in a chair and watch my belly move.  WEIRD!

I like the veggie and fruit comparisons!  Besides, its not like its supposed to be a serious accurate depiction of everyone's baby.  Its just something to give us a rough idea.  Obviously its a little odd that the baby can go from an oblong eggplant one week to a round squash the next.  That makes it hard to believe.  But its just for fun!

As far as the squash- I think it's cute. And for inches and pounds, it's listed on the example, too. If you don't know what a sqaush looks like, then stop by the produce section of your local grocery store. If you want to know what baby looks like at 32 weeks, go to google images and type it in, I promise that actual pictures of ultrasounds will pop up. I think it's great that new moms can look to this web site for cute examples, that some of us may find comforting during a first, or difficult pregnancy. If you don't like them, don't subscribe, or un-subscribe, stop your complaining, seriously.

Not a fan of the veggie comparison either.  We're at 32 weeks, and our boy has measured at 5 lbs at 30 weeks.  No matter what it is hard to imagine something that big and heavy inside you....:)  The veggie comparison doesnt make the thought of the birth process any more pleasant.

Everyone on here keeps talking about how baby moves so much.  I'm a little concerned because although I feel her move every once in a while, I don't feel any jabbing or kicking.  Maybe she's lazy and likes to sleep a lot.  I'm also a bit overweight, so maybe that has something to do with it.  I'm 30 weeks today, so I was just wondering if anyone else was going through this.

I'm kind of thankful he's not jabbing and kicking me hard!  haha... he definitely squirms and moves a LOT but so far nothing really hard, although he sometimes pushes hard on my bladder and that doesn't feel that great lol.  I still feel his movements really low in my belly, nothing up higher than my belly button.  next week i'll be 29 weeks

If people dont like being compared to a squash then go to another site and quit complaining and be happy you have a site to go to that has information

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

haha. I just find it funny people complaining about a squash. Also, it has the size in inches for you right there, so you can kindof figure it out. Its not rocket science. Its suppost to be fun and cute, not an all inclusive "your baby is this big" chart. Its relative.

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

I agree with one of the first people that commented...there should be kg and centimeters listed to make it easier for others to understand!  Other than that pretty good.

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

I've never seen a squash that looked like the one in the picture.  Another website mentioned a head of cabbage, so I'll go by that one.

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

My baby moves all the time. I swear she never sleeps. My doctor hasnt told me how much she weighs or how big she should be. According to the books ive been reading, she should be weighing in around 4 pounds! I cant believe i only have 8 weeks left. I hope they fly by cause im ready for her to get here!

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

I love this site and it's helped me understand whats going on with my baby girl each week.  My baby is weighing in at about 4 lbs now and I'm 32 weeks along.  With or without the dang squash, I get to read about how she's growing.  Thanks "The Bump"!  This is my first pregnancy and it's amazing to read about how our babies are developing everyday.  Honeydew.....................here we come!

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

That's hilarious that people are complaining about the veggie/fruit description! If they are so upset by it then why log onto the site? As someone else noted....there are millions of baby sites out there. AND...they do have the inches and pounds posted next to the veggie. I think the comparison is fine. It gives you something solid to think about.

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

why are all you complaining that it compares our baby to a squash???  if you don't know how big a squash is, and assuming you also cannot read since it says it in terms of size and weight, then go to another comparision chart.  i myself love looking at what the next veggie/fruit is going to be!  it's all for fun so lighten up!!!!!

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

Please I would like to see a picture of a baby and not a fruit/veggie!!  I am not feeling kicks and jabbs in my ribs because my baby is breech!!!!  I feel it in my pelvis, hips and bladder =) How much fun is that for me........  I do feel there are other websites that are more informative about what is happening week to week of my pregnancy.

re: Weeks 29-32 (Month 7): Squash

i love this site for this growth chart.  however i am constantly annoyed by how strange others reactions are to the fruit of the moment.  how hard is it to understand that the baby is more or less the size volume etc?  no your baby does not have a stem and no your baby is not as ugly as a squash.  its not supposed to look like the fruit its just a way to get a ruff idea of how the baby is progressing and if you know better sites by all means use the more scientific site as well you wacky birds...
