Pregnancy is not a simple thing. From the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay attention to many things, such as not engaging in intense exercise, not eating spicy and fried foods, not having sexual activity, and so on. This is all for the healthy growth of the baby in the mother's womb, avoiding miscarriage or other problems. When the baby reaches full term, they can prepare for delivery. So, is 37 weeks full term or 39 weeks full term?
Generally speaking, a baby is considered full-term at 37 weeks, and the entire pregnancy of a pregnant woman is between 37-42 weeks. As long as the baby is born at this stage, it is not considered premature, but a full-term baby. Of course, the developmental level of each baby is different, and whether a baby is full-term or not not depends not only on the time of pregnancy, but also on the baby's weight.
If the fetus is over 37 weeks old, weighs more than 5 pounds, and has no deformities, and all organs have fully developed, it is considered a full-term baby and ready for delivery. However, babies will give birth better after 38 weeks, which will make them more mature, have better resistance, and less likely to get sick.
Pregnant women should pay attention to rest more and maintain a good mentality in the later stages of pregnancy. If a cesarean section is required due to fetal malposition or a problem with the fetus wrapping around the neck, the surgery will be better at 39 weeks. Before the surgery, it is necessary to check the condition of the fetus in order to ensure the safety of the operation.
