Fetal period is the longest period of gestation (from 9 weeks after fertilization until birth) during which organs grow and mature, and the fetus gains weight and length. The umbilical period refers to the time when the fetus is connected to the placenta via the umbilical cord, which is a part of the fetal period. The uterine period refers to the time when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, but it is not a period of gestation. The embryonic period refers to the time from fertilization until the end of the 8th week of gestation when the major organs and structures start to form.
