What does your doctor or midwife consider full term?

Question

I’ve heard all 3. Mine says 37.

Answer

37 is term, full term is 39.

Answer

37 weeks but he won't induce until I'm at least 39 weeks

Answer

Full term used to be defined as anything after 37 weeks, but since 2013 (so fairly recent) 37 weeks to the end of 38 weeks is now redefined as “early term” anything after 39 weeks is considered full term. That’s why there might be some confusion.

Answer

I’ve heard recent studies say 39 weeks but my office still goes by 37 weeks.
