Feeling excited to be 5 weeks! Chris and I are still the only ones who know...which is impressive for me!
Symptoms:
- bouts of nausea started yesterday.
- 3 lbs lost since I found out I was pregnant.
- Fatigue (having to take naps)
- achy legs and hips
- Pelvic aches/pain
- headaches
Week 5 Information:
This is another important week in the development of your baby as the construction of the heart and the central nervous system will now begin. It is amazing how only in these first few weeks your baby has transformed from a single fertilised egg to an embryo with arms and legs already beginning to form. Last week your baby resembled a tadpole and now the tiny stems where the arms and legs will grow are already visible. As big as a grain or rice, around 2mm the baby is now visible to the naked eye.
An ultrasound scan can now already distinguish between the head and the tailbone and the spine will start developing. The tiny heart will begin to beat around this time, very slowly and carefully.

23 days until our first OB appointment!
