Answer #1

Premature birth means that the baby was born before nine months of pregnancy. Miscarriage means the fetus was already dead while inside the womb.

Answer #2

fetus as in baby

Answer #3

uhh.. yeah. technically, the baby is called a fetus while inside the womb. when the cute, little slimy baby gets out, it’s called a neonate. =)

Answer #4

A miscarriage is the loss of a foetus BEFORE 20 weeks of pregnancy. The foetus doesnt have to have died in untero. The difference is simply timing. If a baby died in utero or during birth after twenty weeks its called still birth.

Answer #5

sorry, in utero.

Answer #6

fetus..neonate..infant..baby.. WOw no wonder babies are special..

Answer #7

sperm cell + ovum -> zygote -> embryo -> fetus -> neonate -> cute little infant -> annoying toddler -> playful pre-school -> school age -> preadolescent -> rebellious adolescent -> bad-ass adult. >:-)
