I was so anxious about premature labor that I googled this every day! Yes, 37 weeks is early term, but 39 to 40 weeks is the best full term window. Just stay calm, keep counting kicks, and try not to stress over dates too much.
I had an elective C-section at exactly 38 weeks, which is early term, and my baby was perfectly healthy. Usually, 39 weeks is full term. My recovery was smooth because we planned it well with our doctor's advice.
I just delivered my baby boy last month at 39 weeks, which is the perfect full term. The last few weeks are tough but trust me, your baby is just putting on healthy weight. Keep your hospital bag ready by 37 weeks!
Reaching 37 weeks is awesome because baby's lungs are fully ready, but 39 weeks is the sweet spot for full term! You are almost there, so get ready to hold your little bundle of joy very soon!
Typically, reaching 37 completed weeks is considered early term, and 39 weeks is full term. When you go through IVF, every single week feels like a milestone, so please take things one day at a time. Sending you so much warmth and strength.
My mother always told me that the 9th month starts after 36 weeks, and delivering after 37 weeks is safe. Doctors also consider 37 to 40 weeks as full term. Take plenty of bed rest and enjoy your mom's cooking during these final weeks.
