prenatal development
Growth before birth
Prenatal development is the process by which a fertilized egg becomes a fully formed infant, occurring across roughly 40 weeks of pregnancy.
The stages include the germinal period (fertilization through implantation), the embryonic period (when major organs and structures form), and the fetal period (growth and maturation until birth).
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can disrupt prenatal development.
