Pregnancy Calendar - Week5
Week 5
The shape of the baby continues to develop at a rapid pace, and is now 4-6mm in length. The majority of the growth is now focused on the head. The brain is undergoing development and this will regulate the heart rate, blood circulation, and other vital body functions. Already after just five weeks the liver, pancreas, lungs, and stomach have begun to develop. Plus the tiny heart is increasing the circulation.
Mum’s body is adjusting to the increased amount of hormones and the symptoms that started in week four continue.
