  • At what age can teratogens begin to affect the baby?

    Experts believe that teratogens can begin affecting a baby growing in the womb about 10 to14 days after conception.

    During which Weeks is the fetus most sensitive to teratogens?

    Time of exposure: Teratogens are most harmful early in pregnancy, starting about 10 to 14 days after conception to about 8 weeks into pregnancy.

    At what weeks in pregnancy is the risk of teratogenic effects highest?

    Exposure to teratogens is harmful no matter what point you're at in pregnancy. However, the risk is slightly higher during the first eight weeks of pregnancy. This is because many organs and systems are developing, making the fetus more sensitive to the harmful effects of teratogens.

    What are teratogenic effects on fetus?

    Teratogens may affect the embryo or fetus in a number of ways, causing physical malformations, problems in the behavioral or emotional development of the child, and decreased intellectual quotient (IQ) in the child.
