Tips and advices - 5th week

This period during which the baby’s organs are starting to form is critical.  You must provide him with essential nutriments and avoid anything that could alter his development (alcohol, for example). During this first trimester, you can expect to gain 1 to 3 kilos (2.2 to 6.5 lb).
To ease your breasts’ extreme sensitivity, you can sleep with a sports bra that would give you a minimum of support. During the day, make sure to wear the appropriate bra. Avoid baths that are too hot and opt for cool showers, think about purchasing comfortable underwear.
