<upd_detl>"fetus" is the better translation based on the above.

should 胎仔 be considered [iK]?  no ref for it in any major dictionary.  eijiro has it in some examples, and it's in some of the minor dictionaries on weblio</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Should [adj-no] be dropped here?

Perhaps this is better left alone for practical reasons.  But if "胎児" is literally "the child in the womb", is this [adj-no]?  Just because we have "fetal" in English as an adjective. "fetus's heartbeat", "fetal heartbeat". 

Compare: 幼児 (toddler, not [adj-no]).  (I've taken the top 胎児の ngrams, and matched them with 幼児 in the refs). The potential usage seems almost identical.

There are also a number of nouns prefixed with 胎児, just as there are with 幼児.  Here's one that got an adj. gloss: 幼児退行: infantile regression</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Brian, you don't need to post so many examples. If you come across a dubious use of adj-no, just remove it and leave a comment saying that the word doesn't appear to be adjectival. The editors will almost certainly agree. There are thousands of kango entries with adj-no tags that should be removed.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Sorry about that, message received going forward.  I guess I thought this particular entry might be more controversial, and I guess it wasn't. Thank you for the feedback.</upd_detl>
