A fetal arrhythmia is an irregular heart rate — too fast, too slow, or otherwise outside the norm. Your little one has elongated from a ball of cells to a teeny tadpole-like shape, with a distinguishable head and, believe it or not, a tail. Not to worry, though. That tail will disappear soon enough, and a cute little baby bottom will take its place.
The heart comes first because blood flow is essential. At this early stage the design of the micro heart is still pretty rustic, with only two tubes pumping to a really unrhythmic rythym. If you're 5 weeks pregnant, you're in month 2 of your pregnancy. Only 7 months to go! Still have questions? Here's some more information on how weeks, months and trimesters are broken down in pregnancy.
At 5 weeks pregnant, your little embryo is still super tiny, measuring about the size of an orange seed. So what does your baby look like now? Actually, not unlike a tadpole, with a rudimentary head and a tail. But don't worry, there's no frog in your future. In fact, you're fewer than eight months away from holding a real prince or princess in your arms. While all this is happening, the hCG hormone levels in your body are now high enough to confirm that you're expecting using a home pregnancy test.
Go to the doctor to confirm the good news and figure out your due date. It takes a lot of developing to become a baby — all the major and minor bodily systems digestive, circulatory, nervous and so on and organs, like the heart, lungs and stomach, have to form from scratch.
The first system to be operational 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 toward the end of the week, though it's more commonly visible at week 6 or 7.
When you're 5 weeks pregnant, your baby's heart is made up of two tiny channels called heart tubes and they're already hard at work. When those tubes fuse together, your baby will have a fully functioning heart, though he almost certainly has his grip on yours already! Also in the works this week are several other organs, including the neural tube — the precursor to your baby's brain and spinal cord — which hasn't yet sealed.
But by next week, that open-door policy is over. By now you should have missed your period — one of the more obvious indications that you're pregnant. It's time to pee on a stick good news since you probably need to go more often anyway , because at 5 weeks pregnant the level of hCG, the pregnancy-announcer hormone, in your urine is high enough to be detected by a home pregnancy test.
This news will probably elicit a combo platter of emotions ranging from sheer joy to sheer terror as the reality that you're going to be a mom sets in.
Mood swings are totally normal — kind of like PMS on overdrive — so don't worry if you're having them. There'll be other early pregnancy signs, too. Like that sense of exhaustion that may have washed over you. And those tender breasts. Or that slight bout of nausea you might have felt when you smelled a dish that normally doesn't bother you.
Growing a baby — even one no larger than an orange seed — is hard work, and your body is responding in kind. Large quantities of hormones — chemical signals that circulate in your body and work together to cause physical changes — are being mass-produced this week. Among them are estrogen, which keeps the levels of progesterone and hCG up where they need to be; progesterone, which maintains the function of the placenta, keeps the smooth muscles of the uterus from contracting, and stimulates breast tissue growth; and hCG, which support the corpus luteum until the placenta takes over at about 10 weeks and regulates the amount of progesterone necessary.
Have you or your partner been bursting to spread the good news about your expectant status ever since that home pregnancy test turned positive? Not sure when the best time is to grab a megaphone or a telephone Only you can make the call, so to speak, on that one.
