36 is considered later term delivery, but you should always want bab to come when baby is ready.. don't attempt old wives tales to start labor, it could be dangerous

both my boys were born between 36 weeks and 37 weeks. and have been fine. my doctor said that 37 weeks is full term but its better for the baby to stay inside longer. but the baby always knows when they are ready.

@jgarciamua I'm glad to see the picture I've posted is being used =]. You could go to 40 weeks and still not be ok. Each baby is different. I delivered at 29 weeks- just because my baby is ok doesn't mean every baby born at 29 weeks will be. There are no guarantees and there's no magic gestational age for a baby to be okay, if that makes sense.

I'm 32w 3d and they wanna induce me at 39w but I feel like he will be here before that induction date

the baby can survive at 28 weeks but the longer the buns in the oven the better

my Dr told me they won't stop labor after 35 weeks however baby is still developing...usually lungs are last to develop. 37 is early term and 39 is full term.

I thought they pushed it now to 38 to give the baby that extra week

37 weeks is considered full term
