   Gestational age: 3 weeks and 0 days until 3 weeks and 6 days old. 22–28 days from last menstruation. Embryonic age: Week nr 2. 1 week old. 8–14 days from fertilization. Trophoblast cells surrounding the embryonic cells proliferate and invade deeper into the uterine lining. They will eventually form the placenta and embryonic membranes.

   Some degree of weight gain is expected during pregnancy.

   The level of development at birth. More developed infants will typically require a longer gestation period. Altricial mammals needs less time to gestate compare to the precocial (well-developed neonate) mammal.

   A pregnancy may end in a live birth, a miscarriage, an induced abortion, or a stillbirth. Childbirth typically occurs around 40 weeks from the start of the last menstrual period (LMP), a span known as the gestational age. This is just over nine months. Counting by fertilization age, the length is about 38 weeks.

7. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

   The eight weeks have 23 stages. Human embryology is the study of this development during the first eight weeks after fertilization. The normal period of gestation (pregnancy) is about nine months or 40 weeks. The germinal stage refers to the time from fertilization through the development of the early embryo until implantation is completed in ...
