5 weeks pregnant
The placenta is forming and will be completed by the end of the first trimester.
It’s an organ that will soon connect your developing fetus to your uterine wall, supplying nutrition and oxygen to your unborn child.
In a home pregnancy test, your hCG hormone levels are now high enough to prove you’re expecting a baby.

How many months is 5 weeks pregnant?
You’re in the second month of your pregnancy if you’re 5 weeks pregnant.
There are only 7 months left! Do you have any other questions?
Here’s some more information on how pregnancy weeks, months, and trimesters are divided.
What is the size of my baby at 5 weeks?
Your little embryo is still quite small at 5 weeks pregnant, roughly the size of an orange seed.

The little one has a tail.
So, how does your baby appear now? With a rudimentary head and tail, it looks a lot like a tadpole.
But don’t worry, you won’t be eating any frogs in the near future.
In fact, you’ll be holding an actual prince or princess in your arms in less than eight months.
During this time, the hCG hormone levels in your body have increased to the point where you can use a home pregnancy test to confirm that you’re expecting.
Make an appointment with your doctor to confirm the good news and determine your due date.

The heartbeat
To become a newborn, all of the major and minor physiological systems (digestive, circulatory, nervous, and so on),
As well as organs such as the heart, lungs, and stomach must develop from scratch.
The circulatory system, or blood, is the first system to function, along with its companion organ,
The heart, which you may be able to see beating on an early ultrasound at the end of the week, though it’s more typical in week 6 or 7.
Your baby’s heart is made up of two tiny channels called heart tubes, and they’re already hard at work when you’re 5 weeks pregnant.
Your baby will have a fully functioning heart when those tubes fuse together, albeit he very definitely already has his grasp on yours!

Early signs of pregnancy
Other early pregnancy indicators will also be present. Like the feeling of fatigue that has swept over you.
Those delicate breasts, too. Or the fleeting feeling of sickness you got when you smelled a food that usually doesn’t upset you.
It takes a lot of effort to grow a baby, even one as small as an orange seed, and your body is responding in kind.
Finally, through the previous lines you could find all details about your baby development at 5 weeks pregnant, and also the early signs of pregnancy, we hope that may be useful for you.
