your baby,
the size of an orange seed 🍊
After five weeks of pregnancy, the fetus still shows few human characteristics and looks more like a tadpole with a tail. But don't worry: by week 11, this tail will have completely disappeared and become an integral part of your developing baby. During this week, the brain and spinal cord are also being formed, and even the fledgling foundations of the circulatory system are being laid. Although the heart is already in the making, it won't start beating until next week.

mom,
5 weeks pregnant
As of this week, the pregnancy test becomes really reliable, since your HCG levels are now sufficiently high. Many exciting questions will be on your mind in the coming time: Am I ready to become a mother? Isn't it too early? Should I tell others already or not? Try to stay calm and don't let yourself be overwhelmed by countless questions. You still have almost 8 months to think about all these considerations. And be confident that you will be a great mom, there's no doubt about that!🤗
