It depends on the species of hamster that you have. I'm assuming that you have a Syrian hamster (the largest species of hamster commonly kept as pets. Incorrectly sold by the pet stores as "Teddy Bears", "Panda Bears", "Honey Bears", "Dalmatians"). Syrians gestate for exactly 16 days. Hamsters don't usually show signs of pregnancy until the last 3-4 days. The signs would be an enlarged abdomen and swollen nipples. You may or may not see milk in the nipples.
So a answer to a question that you didn't ask is that there is no way to tell that your hamster is 5 days pregnant. You just have to wait. As a show breeder with over 1,000 pups each year, I know how frustrating it can be to wait even 16 days!
