The fetus typically begins developing arms and legs around three months of gestation—approximately 70 to 80 days—by which time the embryo has matured sufficiently to assume a recognizably human form. Pregnant women should attend regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital to monitor fetal development. If poor fetal growth or other abnormalities are detected, prompt medical evaluation and intervention are essential. Additionally, adequate rest and stress reduction are strongly recommended.
