Week 5: What to Expect During Your Pregnancy + Gina's Pregnancy Journey!

Welcome to week 5 of pregnancy! This week, baby's nervous system is beginning to develop, as well as their brain and spinal cord. Blood vessels are forming as the circulatory system forms, and you may even be able to see a small flutter of a heartbeat on an ultrasound! Due to all of these neural tube developments happening now, it is super important to remember to take some sort of prenatal vitamin that contains folate or folic acid! Check out Needed, our preferred prenatal vitamins, here! http://thisisneeded.com/ginaandroxanne For expectant mothers, you may be starting to feel some of the classic first trimester symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath, constipation, and headaches, as all that lovely progesterone floods your system! If you have not already contacted to a provider to set up prenatal care, this is a great time to start that process. Gina and Roxanne share tips on how to manage oral health as you may be entering a period of nausea and gag reflex sensitivity that make it super hard to brush your teeth consistently! Additionally, Gina shares about how she is feeling at this point, and what she knows to expect during her first trimester based on previous pregnancies. She also discusses her struggles with anxiety in these early stages of pregnancy and navigating this stage after previous early pregnancy losses.
