Your Body at Week 5

Welcome to week 5 of your pregnancy. Feeling like everything is extra tiring and extremely exhausting? Well, your body is doing a lot more than what it’s ever been used to. Growing a baby isn’t easy ladies, so it’s fine to take a step back and put your feet up this week.

Your Baby At Week 5

It may seem strange to the outside world that you are growing a little human inside of you but it’s truly amazing at how fast things are developing in there. Your baby is starting to look like a tadpole this week. The spinal cord is beginning to form and the neural tube starting to close. Soon your baby will start growing a thin layer of skin to protect them.
