Saw this term on my report and got confused matlab. Im around 37 weeks now and my gynac mentioned something like this. Does it mean baby is coming early or is it just a normal stage? pls explain.
Haan, basically 37 weeks se 39 weeks ke beech delivery ho toh use early term bolte hain. Baby is fully formed but unko thoda aur time milta toh full term hota. My delivery was also early term only, na.
The doctors at my hospital explained that early term is from 37 weeks to 38 weeks and 6 days. They closely monitor during this time to see if baby is ready. If u have any doubts, ask your pediatrician or gynac, they explain beautifully.
I was reading about this recently while planning. It means a baby born between 37 weeks and 38 weeks plus 6 days. I pray that whenever the time comes, everything goes smoothly for all of us.
Simple words mein, early term matlab baby is matured but hasn't reached the official due date of 39-40 weeks yet. It is absolutely normal, nothing to panic about. Just keep your hospital bag ready around this time.
My normal delivery happened exactly at 38 weeks, which falls under early term. The baby was completely healthy and active, so don't worry about the terms too much as long as your doctor says baby's weight is fine.
