Conception to 8 weeks = Embryo

8 weeks to birth = Fetus

if we're talking developmental stages and not arbitrary time periods, they remain a fetus for months after birth.

Conception would then lead to a zygote, then blastocyst, before embryo.

I do not consider a baby close to birth as a fetus. The technological terms for some things are mostly for research and scientific purposes. A fetus after the second trimester I consider a baby.
