At this stage, the baby is a few centimetres in length and has a detectable heartbeat, which indicates the embryonic stage of development. The zygote stage occurs immediately after conception, and the germinal stage is the first two weeks of development before implantation occurs. The fetal stage begins around week 9 of pregnancy, after the embryonic stage is complete.
