Fetal Development
Fetal development is the process of biological changes taking place during pregnancy; from the moment of conception to the time of birth. It involves rapid growth in the size and weight of the fetus, as well as physiological and anatomical changes. These changes are essential for the newborn to adjust to life outside the womb. Fetal development is highly important for ensuring proper health and well-being of a newborn. It is studied in obstetrics and gynecology, a medical field devoted to pregnancy and childbirth. Research in fetal development has led to advances in prenatal diagnosis and treatment, which have improved the chances of successful pregnancies.
