Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is during the fetal stage (third trimester) that the developing child becomes easily recognizable, with distinct facial features, and a size and shape similar to that of a newborn. The embryonic stage (weeks 3-8) is characterized by the development of major organs and structures, while the germinal stage (weeks 1-2) is focused on fertilization and initial cell division. The birth stage refers to when the child is delivered and exits the mother's body.
