Pregnancy Week 5
Fetal DevelopmentYou won't believe the changes that your baby has already gone through in such a short time. Your baby's heart is 3/4 of the way formed and will begin beating this week! Also developing are the brain, cardiovascular and nervous systems and the reproductive and other major systems. Early this week your baby becomes pear-shaped. The rounded end will become the head while the pointed end will become your baby's spine. Your baby is now known as an embryo and is about 1.5 - 2.5 mm or 0.05 - 0.09 inches in length.This time next year your baby will be 17 Weeks Old!

This week may have you feeling even more tired now. As far as the other
symptoms, they are very similar to last week - sore breasts, fatigue, backaches, heartburn, morning sickness, and mood swings. You may start to
get headaches as your hormone levels rise as well. You can try sleeping
in a supportive bra (such as a jogging bra) to help with the breast
soreness. Also, eating smaller, more frequent meals can sometimes help
with both the morning sickness and heartburn. There are some women who simply sail through their first few weeks (and
often their first trimester) of pregnancy without any symptoms at all.
This is perfectly normal and no cause for concern or panic. However, if
you have a sudden loss of your pregnancy symptoms, see your
healthcare provider as soon as you can.
