How many weeks is a full term pregnancy?

Question

Im in my third trimester now and just trying to understand the timeline better. My due date is given but i keep wondering till which week is considered full and safe. Can someone explain simply?

I delivered at 39 weeks which was full term, baby was healthy. Many babies come a little before or after the due date, totally normal. Dont stress if you go past 40 weeks slightly.

My doctor explained full term is considered 39 to 40 weeks, and anything 37 weeks onwards is term too. Before 37 weeks they call it preterm. Due date is calculated at 40 weeks.

Around 40 weeks is the full term. Mine came at 38, all good.
