In humans, the embryo becomes the fetus at the beginning of the 11th week in gestational age (the 9th week after fertilization). This stage starts when the major structures have formed.

The embryo weighs 1 gram between 5-8 weeks. A fetus is far bigger than one gram.
A female embryo is born with a lifetime supply of eggs already in her ovaries. It is estimated that a female fetus has around 1 to 2 million eggs at about 20 weeks of gestation, which gradually decreases over time.

It is widely accepted that a fetus begins to feel pain around 20 weeks into pregnancy. By this time, the baby's tissues, muscles and nerves are developed. However, studies using ultrasounds have shown that a fetus reacts to stimulation in the womb. For example, neurobiologist M. Fitzgerald reported in "Neurobiology of Fetal and Neonatal Pain" (1994) that at 7.5 weeks' gestation, a fetus responds to stimuli. Around 10.5 weeks, a fetus whose mouth region is touched will bend his or her head in response, and the palms of the hands become sensitive to stroking. The rest of the body and legs become sensitive at approximately 13.5 weeks.
about 20 weeks or so.
The babies (embryo) heart starts to beat at about 4 weeks.
Implantation typically occurs 6-12 days after fertilization. Once the embryo implants in the uterus, it can then develop and grow into a fetus.
