The fetal period is the stage of prenatal development that begins at the ninth week after conception and lasts for the remainder of the pregnancy. During this stage, the fetus grows and develops rapidly, and the mother can begin to feel movements such as kicking. Therefore, Sidney's current stage of pregnancy falls under the fetal period. The other options do not fit the description of the stage of pregnancy that Sidney is currently experiencing.
