fetus development

Baby forming inside

Fetus development is the process by which a fertilized egg grows into a fully formed baby during pregnancy.

The term covers the stages from embryo through fetus, typically spanning about 40 weeks in humans.

Medical contexts track development through trimesters, monitoring milestones like organ formation, movement, and viability: The ultrasound showed normal fetus development at 20 weeks.
