Astrophysics: How would a fetus’ development change if mother was traveling at relativistic speeds?

Time dilation applies to everything, doesn't matter if you use an atomic clock or a pregnancy to measure x months.
As seen by the ship nothing changes because the ship is at rest relative to the ship and only relative velocities matter.

Just like it would be super long seconds on the clock.
