Week 5
What to expect at 5 weeks
At 5 weeks your baby is the size of a coffee bean.
Take a Test
At this stage your body is producing enough hormones for a at home pregnancy test to pick up. So if you are feeling a little off or haven’t had your period yet now is the time to take a test. Then go to the doctor to confirm if you have a positive at home test.
Circulatory System
The first system to be operational for baby is the circulatory system, or blood — along with its companion organ, the heart, which you may even be able to see beating on an early ultrasound.

Early signs
One of the first and major signs of pregnancy is that overwhelming exhaustion that kicks in. Another big indicator is very tender breasts and nausea.
