A close friend is pregnant. She was reading one of her books that talks about pregnancy, and on the same page it states two incongruous factoids: (1) normally, a woman’s uterus is the size and shape of an upside-down pear; and (2) during pregnancy, the uterus grows to 1,000 times it normal size.
Wait, what?
So this drawing of 100 pears is only 1/10 of the final size of my friend’s belly. I feel like I’m folding paper cranes, which I guess is appropriate: if these factoids are true, she’s going to need a lot of luck!
