When is it considered full term pregnancy?

Im 35 weeks now and getting impatient honestly, just want to know at what point the baby is considered fully ready. My doctor mentioned full term but i didnt fully understand. Can someone tell me?

I was told anything from 37 weeks counts as term, mine came at 38. It felt long in those final weeks honestly. But the wait was worth it.

I am at 38 weeks and counting every single day yaar, my back is done with this. So 37 onwards is term, good, I am officially allowed to complain now haha. Come on baby, any day.

My doc explained that full term is 39 to 40 weeks, 37 to 38 is early term and 41 plus is late term. They prefer baby to stay till at least 39 if all is well. The lungs and everything develop better in those last weeks.
