Fibroid size in relation to equivalent fetal size

Hi I'm new and notice that people post about their fibroids say being the size of a X week fetus. But I can't find out what size that means.
I have read somewhere that they consider hysterectomy when fibroids get to around a 14 week fetus stage. What size is this.
Regards DJ

Fibroid size in relation to a a14 week pregnancy:

""From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces"" - (from babycenter.com)


3 and a half inches is about 9 cm
