The Full Term Debate: I hear many medical professionals say full term is 38 weeks, but I also hear some say 37. I know it's just a one week difference, but which one is it? I don't want to walk around at 37 weeks saying I'm full term and I end up sounding like a fool lol
The internet just has a lot of opinions and it's confusing haha
@chaylalove @rebekahgoodale8 I read both of those things too.
@nevahsatisfied I was thinking that too because there has been way too many answers, but I think 39 would make sense. And maybe some babies get finished baking early at 37-38 weeks lol
@cubanese Thank you for the info because I have been confused about a whole lot lately lol
I was told by my obgyn that full term is 37 weeks. Perhaps it varies by doctor.
I read that 37-38 0 days is called "term" and 39-40 0 days is full term
Is 37 weeks considered full term?🤔
Full term pregnancies
Are doctors really still telling people that 37-38 weeks is full term???? ACOG and SMFM both define full term as 39-40 weeks. 37-38 is term. 41-32 is late term. Babies born at 37+ weeks are almost always just fine but there are clearly researched benefits to going to 39-40.
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 🤷🏼♀️

I just have to put this out there for some of these moms who bashes girls who are 37 weeks and trying to start there labor now if you can clearly read it saids that 37 weeks is considered full term 🙄
my Dr says 40 is full term
