fetal stage
Unborn growth period
The fetal stage is the period of prenatal development from roughly the ninth week after conception until birth.
It follows the embryonic stage, during which major organs and structures form.
During the fetal stage, these structures grow and mature: The fetal stage is when the baby gains most of its weight.
The term appears in medical and developmental contexts.
