The size of a three-month-old fetus is as follows:
1. Length: At three months of gestation, the fetus is generally between 8 cm and 10 cm in length, with an average of approximately 9 cm.
2. Weight: The fetus is still very light at this stage, typically weighing between 20 g and 30 g, although exact weight may vary slightly due to individual differences.
3. Developmental characteristics: The fetal head is relatively large, accounting for a significant portion of the body length. The limbs begin to move, and fingers and toes start to separate. Major organs such as the brain, eyes, ears, digestive system, and limbs have begun developing, and vital organs including the heart and liver are already well formed.
