The nonpregnant uterus is about 7.5 ´ 5 ´ 2.5 cm, which is close to the size and shape of a pear. A cantaloupe would be too large and is the wrong shape for the uterus. A grapefruit is too large for the nonpregnant uterus; the uterus is larger at the upper end and tapers down. An orange may be the appropriate size, but it is not the appropriate shape.
