Soooo ridiculous that it claims a 9 month fetus is comparable to a cucumber. Where on earth do these mutant 20 inch 7-9 pound cucumbers grow?!

Where do they get this stuff... How can you go from the size of a Honeydew to a Cucumber? What the heck. I know for a fact that she has to be bigger than a cucumber or else that is one heck of a cucumber.

re: Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Cucumber

The Nest Baby needs to come up with something better than fruit/veggie comparisons----I'm fairly certain that the little person that is about to come out of my pelvic region in no way, shape, or form resembles a cucumber.

Even lengthwise you're talking one of those fancy cukes that come wrapped in plastic at the grocery store. Even those are rarely longer than, say 14-15 inches.

It sure would make birth a lot easier if baby formed into the shape of a cucumber! Then maybe I could bypass the epidural without turning into a big baby myself!!!

Posted by Mom_Of_Damien    Thursday, November 29, 2007 7:31 PM

re: Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Cucumber

It's an English cucumber - which in fact, is as big as they say . . . .I don't believe they are suggesting that the baby is this shape (that was never suggested - I would have questioned the eggplant then too).  :)  Although, I agree that a watermelon would've been a better choice, the English cucumber does represent the baby's average weight and length.

re: Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Cucumber

This thing has been posted since July 06 and despite the complaints about the english cucumber and lbs vs. grams issue, nothing has changed. Not good NestBaby...not good.  You appear to not be listening to your customers.  I think all the previous produce is good, and starts to build and then you click on the final month and your excited and ready and then...booo...a cucumber...how anti-climatic!  You may be thinking that we all just need to get over it...get a life...but please this is one of the most fun features of the site...it's something to look forward to in what feels like a long pregnancy.  Come on, you can do better...

re: Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Cucumber

I eat cucumbers everyday... EVERYDAY! I crave them... and there is no way that the baby that kicks me so hard I can't sleep at night is going to be as small as a food that I eat on a daily basis... NO WAY! She's already 3.5 lbs! I want to find a cucumber that weighs that much! I have seen long cucumbers... and fat ones... but NEVER have I seen or eaten a cucumber that was as big as a baby... NEVER!

HELLO!!!! A PREGNANCY IS 40 WEEKS LONG!!! DO THE MATH. This means that a pregnancy is actually 10 months long. Sure there are people who deliver early, but  some people are actually on time. What are we stupid?

re: Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Watermelon

Wow. When did they change the cucumber to a watermelon? I'm not there yet but I already like I'm carrying a watermelon.  And to the previous post, Month 9 is the 10th month.  IMO it's like how the 1900's were the 20th century. What did you mean?

Posted by Fanty    Monday, March 24, 2008 6:53 PM

re: Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Watermelon

To tat2dlydia: it would be 10 months if there were exactly 4 weeks per month, but there's a little over. If you look at it backwards, there are 52 weeks per year, minus 40 weeks= 12 weeks. If you make those into 4-week months, you get three months. Since there aren't 13 months in a year, 40 weeks must be closer to 9 months than 10.

I'm very confused as to what site all of you are looking at. The link that I'm looking at shows that my baby at this time is a watermelon. Where in the world are you all getting cucumber? And, I've always seen the measurements in inches and pounds. Is it just my computer or something?

Posted by liniaco    Monday, May 04, 2009 4:05 PM

re: Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Watermelon

Hey liniaco, they had the picture of a cucumber as a comparison example AND the length was measured with the Metric system. The sight must have listened to these ladies and changed the cucumber to the watermelon and went to inches and pounds instead of the metric system.

Hope the helps your confusion...

Some of these ladies need to take a BIG DEEP BREATH and just CALM down...

The pregnancy hormones are getting to them.

BE HAPPY.. it is better for the baby! :O)
