I believe that fetal fingerprints are fully formed by 12 weeks/3months of gestation. Fingerprints are actually created by fetal movements - as the young fetus moves within the uterus, its skin shifts, forming the ridges of its fingerprints. This is the reason why no two people have the same fingerprints, even identical twins.
