Gestation for a human embryo typically ends at around 8 weeks of pregnancy, transitioning to the fetal stage. The entire pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks, counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. During the first 8 weeks, the developing organism is referred to as an embryo, after which it is called a fetus until birth.
The gestation period (about 266 days in humans) is when the embryo is developing inside the womb.
The heart is the first organ to form in a human embryo. It begins to develop and beat as early as week 3 of gestation.
At 8 weeks of gestation, key developmental milestones of a human embryo include the formation of all major organs and structures, the beginning of facial features, the development of fingers and toes, and the start of brain activity.
The period of the embryo is from fertilization to 8 weeks of gestation. During this time, the embryo undergoes rapid growth and development, with major organs and body structures forming. By the end of this period, the embryo is referred to as a fetus.

Gestation is when an embryo is inside the womb of female animal. The gestation period is the female's pregnancy, from conception to birth.
An embryo is the early stage of development in a multicellular organism, typically referring to the period from fertilization to the end of the eighth week of gestation in humans. It is during this stage that the basic structures of an organism are formed.
The embryo will develop into a foetus in the womb.

Fetus
The common term is pregnancy. The technical term is gestation.
If it's a human embryo, about nine months. If you're a mouse embryo, about twenty days. Gestation time in mammals varies species to species, but it's generally safe to say the bigger the animal, the longer the gestation.
