7. 8- 12 WEEKS FEOTUS
At 8-12 weeks of gestation, the fetus is approximately 1.6 to 2.4 inches (4 to 6 cm) long and weighs around 0.5 to 0.7 ounces (14 to 20 grams). The fetus has distinct human characteristics, including facial features such as a small nose, ears, and lips, and fingers and toes that are fully formed. The vital organs, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs, are also developing rapidly during this stage.
6. 4TH WEEK FOETUS
During the fourth week of gestation, the embryo has developed into a blastocyst and has implanted into the uterine lining. The cells within the blastocyst will continue to differentiate into the various tissues and organs of the developing fetus.
At this stage, the neural tube begins to form, which will eventually become the brain and spinal cord. The heart also begins to form and will start to beat soon after. Other organs, such as the liver, pancreas, and lungs, begin to take shape.

What does full-term mean in a pregnancy?
Once you get close to the end of your pregnancy, healthcare providers may use several terms to describe when you go into labor. These terms are labels that divide up the last few weeks of pregnancy.
They’re helpful in determining how likely a baby is to have complications at birth. For example, babies that are born in the early term period (or before it) generally have a higher risk of breathing issues than babies born at full term.
3. 22-24 weeks foetus
What is a full-term pregnancy?
Pregnancy usually lasts about 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period (also called LMP) to your due date. Your due date is the date that your provider thinks you will have your baby.
liver
The liver holds about one pint (13%) of the body's blood supply at any given moment. The liver consists of 2 main lobes. Both are made up of 8 segments that consist of 1,000 lobules (small lobes). These lobules are connected to small ducts (tubes) that connect with larger ducts to form the common hepatic duct.
The liver is a large, meaty organ that sits on the right side of the belly. Weighing about 3 pounds, the liver is reddish-brown in color and feels rubbery to the touch. Normally you can't feel the liver, because it's protected by the rib cage.
2. FULL TERM FEOTUS WITH ENCEPHALOPATHY
During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, there are screening tests (prenatal tests) to check for birth defects and other conditions. Anencephaly would result in an abnormal result on a blood or serum screening test or it might be seen during an ultrasound (which creates pictures of the body). For more information about screening and confirmatory tests during pregnancy, visit CDC’s birth defects diagnosis web page.

Anencephaly
Anencephaly is a type of birth defect. It occurs when the fetal brain, skull and scalp do not develop in your uterus. Babies born with the condition die within a few hours or days. You can lower your risk of having a baby with anencephaly by taking the recommended dose of folic acid before and during pregnancy.
