From a ball of cells, I am beginning to take a more distinct form and I am as big as a sesame seed.

This week, your baby's heart starts to beat and the neural tube closes into the early brain and spine. Too soft to hear yet, but already keeping time with the life growing inside you.

5 Weeks Pregnant? Here’s your 5 week pregnancy guide to provide expert info & advice about your growing baby & the changes in your body, by week & by trimester

<ul>
	<li>The dark area you see is the fluid filling the gestational sac. </li>
	<li>Eventually, this fluid will be replaced by a sac containing the amniotic fluid. </li>
	<li>This will be your baby&#39;s home for the next few months. </li>
	<li>The white circle within the fluid is called the yolk sac, which plays an essential role in providing necessary nutrients for your baby-to-be&#39;s growth. </li>
	<li>Adjacent to the yolk sac, the little + marks show a very tiny embryo. </li>
	<li>The sonographer measures the length of the embryo to confirm or update your estimated due date, or to evaluate the embryo&#39;s growth. </li>
