Fetal Development: Fertilization To Week 8

Conception occurs around two weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period. After fertilization, which takes place in the fallopian tube, the fertilized egg is called a zygote. It travels for several days before it reaches the uterus. Within 24 hours after fertilization, rapid cell division begins, forming the embryo. For 8 weeks after fertilization, it is called an embryo. From 9 weeks after fertilization until birth, it is called a fetus.

During week 17-24, soft, downy hair called lanugo starts to form and cover the body. Towards the late second trimester, around 20-22 weeks, many pregnant mothers begin to feel fetal movement. Fat also starts forming under the baby's skin.
