Week 5 ~ It's Sinking In ADVERTISEMENT Well, it's slowly starting to sink in. The phone calls have tapered off, but it's been amazing how the grapevine works so fast. I used to work in the neonatal unit of another hospital than the one I work in now, and just by talking to a friend who is on maternity leave from the unit, my pregnancy has found itself in the staff communication book!!!! My third HCG was 4835 ~ a level I was very pleased with. I have not experienced any morning sickness. The only changes I have had are two incredibly sensitive nipples ~ so sensitive that when I turn over in bed, I wake up with the pain! It's tough to have to change your eating habits so fast. I can cope with no caffeine , but no cold meat and coleslaws/salads is really tough. Just about everything in our hospital cafeteria is off limits. Still, who's complaining!!!! Bought the first baby clothes. I had to ~ they were on sale at 40% off!!!!! week 6  |  week 4 return to Donna's main page Pregnancy Week By Week Guide - Week 5 StorkNet Home | return to top family planning | pregnancy | parenting | family life | for fun | shopping | tools | community Copyright © 1998 Donna Neal.
