OK, some sources tell me a pregnancy is full term at 37-weeks, other sources tell me it's 38-weeks, and other sources tell me it's 40-weeks, although I'm a tad suspicious of it being 40-weeks (isn't that just the average of when women go into spontaneous labour?) When is full term?
Sorry i dont know but I have always wanted to know this too! As if I gave birth at 35 weeks for eg that surely isnt classed as premature?
I was told they dont grown anymore after 37 weeks, though I dont know how true this actually is! I know girls who have given birth at 35 weeks and within 3 days the baby was at home- so I dunno!!!!
You are classed as "full term" at 37wks your bubs is classed as prem if born before. Madeleine was born at 36 and classed as a "prem" Baby ... xxx
It's ironic; I know a few women who are being induced at 38-weeks, and my doctor might be inducing me at 38-weeks, and I wonder, why 38-weeks as opposed to 37-weeks? Why is 38-weeks such a milestone???
