When does the fetus become a baby?
When the fetus first becomes a fetus., as in
when, the "sperm unites with the egg."
That is why you have "prenatal care."

That's a philosophical question, to which there isn't a clear answer. The range of suggestions is from the moment of conception right up until a year after birth, so there's a lot of disagreement.
In the UK at the present time, legal rights as a human being are granted to the child at birth.

No, we're saying it's not a baby. Or a person. Clearly it's of the same species as its mother. The "transition" occurs when it's born. That's why you have a birth certificate and not a conception certificate.
