Fetus
The name given to the embryo after the 8th week. Technically this name should be used until the baby is completely outside of the mother's body.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
