Pregnancy Week 5

Learn What Happens to You and Your Baby During Pregnancy Week 5

Starting at pregnancy week 5, the average pregnant woman needs about 300 extra calories each day. Make sure to avoid empty calories which will only cause you to gain weight. Eat foods that are wholesome rich in calcium like cheese (avoid unpasteurized cheese) and yogurt , magnesium like nuts, B vitamins in whole grains, fruits and vegetable, omega 3 present in fish that is non-mercury contaminated like tuna, but wild caught like salmon, sardines, etc.

Your baby's heart is now beginning to beat and his circulatory system is in place. The brain, nervous and reproductive systems are also under way.

During pregnancy week 5, your baby is now receiving nutrients through the placenta so it is especially important to avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and drugs of both prescription and over-the-counter because they can have a negative effect on your baby's development. Always talk to you doctor before taking any drugs during pregnancy. Please read the labels carefully and make sure that are appropriate for pregnant women.

It is a good idea to substitute any drinks that contain saccharin, orthophosphoric acid, aspartame (diet drinks) and avoid monosodium glutamate, Splenda, and nitrates in your food. These are toxins that can cause real harm to your unborn baby.

Taking prenatal tea is a great way to support your pregnancy in a healthy way and avoid drinking unsafe beverages.

Have a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy Week 5!
