02.02 Prenatal Development and the Newborn Prenatal Development Prenatal development describes the period of time from a baby’s conception to the day parents welcome him or her into the world. This time period is full of remarkable changes that have a dramatic impact on an individual’s development later in life. Learning about the earliest developmental processes allows us to better understand the foundation upon which development throughout the lifespan is built. Prenatal development occurs in
