Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postnatal is the term used to describe the period after being born, so it makes sense to use the term "prenatal" to describe the period before being born. Choice A (fetal) is close but refers specifically to the developmental stage of the unborn baby; Choice C (neonatal) refers to the first few weeks after being born, and Choice D (pregnancy) refers to the entire period during which the baby develops in the womb, but not specifically before being born.
