I carried a watermelon: This mum documented her pregnancy with fruit and veg

Sive O'Brien

From poppy seed to pumpkin, throughout pregnancy, an unborn baby’s size is usually described in comparison to fruit and veg. 

So it makes sense why a California designer, blogger and shopkeeper decided to use the produce to document her second pregnancy.

Sharing the progress on her website, Nicole Mendez was photographed holding various items of fruit and veg in front of her stomach at different stages of her pregnancy, to show the size and growth of her son. We even get to see a picture of the cutie after his arrival.

If you’re pregnant, this clever photo series could be just the inspiration you are looking for.
