Question: how long does it take for a fetus to become a baby?
Answer: At about 6 weeks, your baby's heart beat can usually be detected. After the 8th week, your baby is called a fetus instead of an embryo. By the end of the second month, your baby is about 1 inch long and weighs about 1/30 of an ounce. Your baby's arms, hands, fingers, feet and toes are fully formed.
