Fetal development is a remarkable journey that begins at conception and culminates in the birth of a new human being. This process involves complex biological changes and a finely-tuned interplay of genetics and environment, all of which contribute to the development of a fully formed newborn. Understanding this journey not only sheds light on human biology but also emphasizes the importance of prenatal care and maternal health. This article reviews the stages of fetal development, highlights key milestones, and discusses factors that can influence this critical period. The journey of fetal development is often categorized into three main trimesters, each marked by significant milestones. From the moment a sperm fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote undergoes rapid divisions and transformations, eventually becoming a fully developed fetus.
