As of today, we are about 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. My first doctors appointment was yesterday which, to my surprise, was nothing like what I had expected. After being pricked and poked about a dozen times they sent me home to wait on the blood work to confirm our pregnancy. I received a call from the doctor this afternoon congratulating us on our new addition! I will be going in for my first REAL prenatal appointment and 8 week check up on April, 29th (oh the anticipation!)
Baby changes this week:
Our baby is about the size of a sweet pea. It's central nervous system, muscles, bones and even the heart are beginning to form. During this week, It's heart will begin to divide into separate chambers and start pumping blood. Other organs that will develop from this layer include the muscles, cartilage, and bone. During pregnancy week 5, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord are also developing.
Things I've been experiencing this week:
Feeling nauseous at night, forgetfulness, frequent naps, bloating and being constantly on edge.
