This week's fun comes in two parts. The first is a short quiz: 3 questions about pregnancy, how your baby grows in the womb and newborn care. After each answer you read a short explanation, so you learn something new while you play. The questions change every Monday.
The second is a playful size comparison. From week 4 to week 40 of pregnancy it describes your baby's approximate size with a familiar everyday object: a Lego brick, a matchbox, a teddy bear. These are rough comparisons; for real measurements and that week's development, see the week-by-week page.

Frequently asked questions
How often do the questions change?
The questions change every Monday. There are 30 questions in the pool and 3 come up in turn each week. If your baby has arrived and you're signed in, questions only about pregnancy are left out.
Are the size comparisons real measurements?
No, they're rough and playful comparisons. Babies can be different sizes even in the same week. For average length and weight, see the week-by-week page, and for your own baby, your ultrasound measurements.
