How would a 4th trimester affect human development?

Newborn humans are born in a very undeveloped stage compared to other mammals. This is because if they stayed any longer in the mother, their head would become too big to fit through the birth canal. However, the advent of artificial womb technology has brought many changes to human development. As well as freeing many women from risk and providing for safer delivery, it has also allowed for the extension of the gestation process. This has introduced what is known as a "4th trimester", with a growing fetus spending 12 months in the machine and being decanted later than traditionally.

How would this affect child development of a growing fetus, as well as parenting in general?
