The fetal period.
The germinal period is the shortest period of prenatal development, lasting approximately two weeks. This period begins at fertilization when the egg is fertilized by sperm and ends when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall.
embryonic
The period of prenatal development where major organs start developing is called the embryonic period. This stage typically occurs from about week 4 to week 8 after fertilization. This is a critical period for organ development and any disruptions during this time can lead to significant birth defects.
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.
The embryo period is considered the most important in prenatal development because this is when the basic body structures and organs are formed. Any disruptions or abnormalities during this period can have long-lasting effects on the health and development of the fetus. It sets the foundation for the remainder of the pregnancy and beyond.
The period of prenatal development that occurs 2 to 8 weeks after conception is known as the embryonic period. This stage is crucial for the formation of major organs and structures in the developing embryo, and any disruptions during this period can have long-lasting effects on the baby's health.
The embryonic stage, which lasts from fertilization until around 8 weeks, is the most rapid period of prenatal development in humans. This is when the major organs and systems of the body begin to form.
The prenatal period is anytime from the time of conception until the baby is born.

distinguish between prenatal & postnatal
The first period of prenatal development is the germinal stage, which lasts for the first two weeks after conception. During this stage, the fertilized egg, or zygote, undergoes rapid cell division and eventually forms a blastocyst. The blastocyst implants itself into the uterine wall, marking the end of the germinal stage.
