Human genetic variation and its contribution to complex traits. At Options for Women, we know that every unborn child is valuable and has a purposeful life to live. Human connects both of the words fetus and baby. The child may be appropriately addressed as fetus from the eight week mark and on, and baby the entire pregnancy.

Rest assured there is no harm in addressing the child as a fetus. Calling the child a fetus may be used to describe a specific time within the pregnancy stage. First Trimester To-Dos.
