WEEK FIVE

WEEK FIVE

Into the second month of your pregnancy, you will continue to feel the same
pregnancy symptoms; however your baby is doing different things every day.

The development of baby

• Arm buds can be seen on an ultrasound
• Hand plates are beginning to form
• The genitals are beginning to develop
• The nasal pits are developing

The development of mom

• Still no outward signs of pregnancy
• The face might start to have acne
• Same pregnancy symptoms can occur

What baby is feeling

• Baby is going through its second set of kidneys

What mom is feeling

• Because you may not ‘feel’ pregnant yet, this might be a good time to
look for classes on pregnancy or head to the local bookstore to
educate you about what might happen during this time.

Special needs for the week

• With all the growing baby is doing, you need to pay special attention
to your diet. Try to add an extra serving of vegetables each day to
start sending vitamins to your growing little one.
Special concerns for the week
• With all of the growth that is occurring, it’s a good idea to make sure
that you’re taking a prenatal vitamin as directed by your doctor.

Special tip for mom

• Start a journal about your feelings about your pregnancy. This can be
a confusing time as well as a time of celebration – write it all down.
As your child grows up, you might even want to share this special
book with them.
