The period of the fetus, occurring during the third to ninth months of pregnancy, is marked by rapid growth and maturation. During this time, organs and systems formed in the embryonic stage continue to develop and refine. The fetus gains size and complexity, and by the end of the third month, its sex can be identified. Critical developments include the formation of facial features, limbs, and vital organs. Throughout the period, the fetus becomes more responsive to external stimuli, and by the end of gestation, it reaches a stage of viability, where it could potentially survive outside the womb with medical support.
