The fetal stage is when the baby's movement becomes more pronounced and the mother is likely to start feeling this movement, which is called quickening. This typically occurs around week 16-25 of the pregnancy. During the earlier stages (germinal and embryonic), the baby is still developing organs and structures, and movements are not yet strong enough to be felt by the mother. The zygotic stage is the very early stage after fertilization, and there is no physical body yet formed.
