Prenatal development is the process through which a baby grows and develops inside the mother’s womb from conception until birth. This period is very important because it lays the foundation for the baby’s physical and psychological health. The prenatal period lasts about nine months, or approximately 270 to 280 days. It is divided into three main stages: Germinal, embryonic period and fetal.
