A fetus is a fetus until it is born at which time the umbilical is cut and it becomes a child. An other argument is that the foetus ceases to be a fetus at the time it is a viable human being and can live without the mothers support.

At 16 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is still quite small and has enough room to move around, so its position can vary. While the cephalic (head-down) position is common later in pregnancy, at this early stage, it's normal for the fetus to be in any position, including breech or transverse. The baby will continue to change positions as it grows and develops.
