Fetal Development period. Whereas the first 8-9 weeks is embryonic development or embryogenesis.
The fetal period of development occurs during the third stage of prenatal development, which is the fetal stage.
Fetal development goes on without awareness of the shape of the uterus.
The fetal stage of development begins at the end of the embryonic stage, typically around 8 weeks after fertilization. During this stage, the organs and tissues continue to grow and develop in preparation for birth.
The fetal mass increases at the greatest rate between weeks 9 to 14 of pregnancy. This period is known as the "growth spurt" stage of fetal development, where the baby's organs and body structures rapidly form and grow.
Fetal growth occurs in three main stages: the germinal stage, embryonic stage, and fetal stage. The germinal stage lasts from conception to about two weeks, where the fertilized egg implants itself in the uterus. The embryonic stage, from two to eight weeks, involves the development of essential organs and structures. Finally, the fetal stage, from nine weeks until birth, is characterized by rapid growth and maturation of the organs, preparing the fetus for life outside the womb.
First Stage: The first two weeks after conception are known as the Germinal stage. Second Stage: The next six weeks of development are known as the Embryonic stage. Third Stage: The remainder of prenatal development is known as the Fetal stage.
i had an ultrasound when i was 6 weeks pregnant, but by ultrasound, the pregnancy measured to be 5 weeks, so no fetal pole was seen yet. i think the earliest fetal poles can be seen is about 6 1/2 - 7 weeks. hope this helps :)
Prenatal development occurs in three main stages: the germinal stage (first two weeks after conception), the embryonic stage (weeks 3-8), and the fetal stage (weeks 9-birth). During these stages, the fertilized egg undergoes cell division, differentiation, and organ formation, leading to the development of a fetus.
The fetal period occurs during the third stage of prenatal development.
At 5 weeks 5 days I had no fetal pole detected, just an empty sac. I had the same at 7.0 weeks. However, at 7.5 days a fetal pole and heartbeat could be seen. From talking to friends during the "waiting" time, it appears that most women do not see a fetal pole until about 6 weeks minimum.
