Watch our video guide to Week 5 of your pregnancy journey:
What's Happening in Week 5?
Your baby is now about the size of a sesame seed! The neural tube, which will become the brain and spinal cord, is forming. Most excitingly, your baby's heart is beginning to develop and may even start beating this week.
Many women start experiencing pregnancy symptoms around this time: morning sickness, breast tenderness, fatigue, and frequent urination.
Tips for Week 5
- A home pregnancy test should now show a clear positive result
- If you haven't already, stop smoking and drinking alcohol
- Eat small, frequent meals if you're experiencing nausea
- Start researching prenatal care options
