    A fetus is a stage in the human development considered to begin nine weeks after fertilization. [4] [5] In biological terms, however, prenatal development is a continuum, with many defining features distinguishing an embryo from a fetus. A fetus is also characterized by the presence of all the major body organs, though they will not yet be ...
