5 Weeks

Maybe a little further because I think I may have ovulated earlier. Wouldn't be more than 6 weeks. Anyways a picture of what it would look like right now and what's going on with it. Have had off and on SLIGHT nausea. Nothing bad. Never got sick with the boys. Very sleepy and bloated. No energy at all. First pre-natal appointment is January 14th. Ultrasound wont be for awhile so wont have an completely accurate date until then but it's not THAT much off if any at all.



Fetal development in pregnancy week 5
The changes to your growing embryo are not quite as drastic this week as they've been in the last few weeks. Growth is now largely focused on their little head, which is starting to develop much more rapidly than the rest of their tiny body. This is because their amazing brain is undergoing some very crucial and rapid development in order to effectively regulate their heart rate, blood circulation, and other vital functions. As for the rest of their miniature body, what were simple limb buds last week are limb flippers this week and the tail is more expressed. Amazingly, within a mere five weeks your little miracle is already developing the rudimentary forms of their liver, pancreas, lungs, stomach and nasal pits while their little heart is already increasing its circulation. Your baby is now a whopping 4-6mm in length.

Belly pics below from last week and this week. The difference is bloat, not baby. No possible way it can be baby as it's less than a half an inch long.
