At what week is the fetus fully grown?

Answer 1

The time between fertilization and birth is about 38 weeks for a normal pregnancy.It is divided into three periods called trimesters. The egg divides into cells that continue to divide to form all the tissues of the body until they become a fully formed human being that can live outside the mother's body. Here is a look at the major changes that take place during each trimester.

Answer 2

In humans, the baby is considered pre-term (not fully grown) if it is born prior to 37 weeks gestational age. Most babies will be a little bigger and healthier though if they continue to grow for another 3 or 4 weeks before delivery.

Answer 3

A fetus is considered fully grown at around 37 to 40 weeks of gestation, which is considered full term. By this time, the fetus has developed and grown sufficiently to be able to survive outside the womb.

Answer 4

Gestation normally takes 9 months, however, development progresses even into adulthood. For example, the brain isn't fully developed until a human's early twenties.
