Question about size comparison...

So BabyCenter has the fruit/veggie comparison for the size of the baby.

But is it the same for twins? For example, I am 12 weeks pregnant with twins. BabyCenter says at 12 weeks the baby is the size of a lime. So do I have 2 limes? Or do the babies combined equal the size of a lime?

Probably 2 limes! but my Dr. told me that those sizes on that website are wayyyyy off. I used to tell her what it would say for me the week I went in and she laughed and said "not even close".. so who knows!

i would think that your little ones would be a little smaller.

Twins usually come out a little smaller, since they are sharing the nutrients coming in.

I think it's quite amazing you're having twins!

Not really sure, she would just laugh at me when I told her. However, all the baby books say the same estimate as babycenter.com so I still believe it!

I would def. say that for the op, you have two of whatever veggie or fruit that website tells ya.. maybe a little smaller since they are twins.

by the way congrats! Chat Icon Chat Icon twins are awsome Chat Icon
