The embryonic period is the period of prenatal development that occurs from fertilization to 8 weeks of gestation. During this period, the major organs and structures of the baby are first developing. The fetal period starts at the end of the embryonic period and lasts until birth. The germinal period occurs from fertilization to implantation of the zygote in the uterine wall, and the placental period refers to the period of placental development, which occurs from implantation until birth.
