'normal' size uterus?

Another lady posted this on the post-op forum:

Type of Uterus & weight (g)

Normal Uterus
Nulliparous 70
Multiparous 75-125

Enlarged Uterus
(gestational age)
8 weeks 125-150
12 weeks 280-320
24 weeks 580-620

As for a size, I've never heard them given a simple number - maybe he was referring to centimeters.

Or perhaps weeks of gestation, which many women hear:

Gestation Uterus
4 weeks - Plum
6 weeks - Mandarin
8 weeks - Apple
10 weeks - Orange
12 weeks - Grapefruit

Take care.
