So I am just curious. If full term is 39+ weeks for a pregnancy, then my first son was full term at 39w 3d. So would my second son be considered early term for being born at 38w 4d or still full term? He came on his own and seems to be as healthy as a baby who was 40+ weeks, but I am wondering if he was still considered a little premature.
Is 37 weeks considered full term?🤔
Is 37 weeks considered full term pregnancy?
My dr considers 37 weeks full term & says that the baby is ok to come anytime after 37 weeks so I’m listening to her 🤷🏼 ♀
Trigger. Lost baby Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

I believe that would still be considered premature.

Hmm that's interesting. I guess he missed the mark by 3 days.

According to my obgyn and the dr that delivered my child was 2 days short premature because he came at 36 weeks and 5 days if he would have waiting 2 more days and came when I was 37 weeks he would have been considered full term...

37 weeks used to be full term but it was recently changed to 39 weeks as some 37 week old babies were in NICU for about a week for premature lungs. It's just crazy though because some babies are fine and some aren't.

I read that if it's after 38 weeks baby should be fine. My baby was born 39 weeks 4 days too and he came all On his owns, and he's healthy as can be.

I think 38 weeks is full term because I personally have never seen an underdeveloped baby at 38 weeks, they are all fine!

They changed it a few years back, but your son would be considered early term (37 weeks 0 days - 38 weeks 6 days, full term is 39 weeks 0 days - 40 weeks 6 days). For more info - http://m.acog.org/About-ACOG/News-Room/News-Releases/2013/Ob-Gyns-Redefine-Meaning-of-Term-Pregnancy

Oh ok. Early term is still term though so I guess that's good.
