The process of pregnancy is very long, with a total of about 280 days, or 40 weeks. During pregnancy, the fetus continues to develop and grow, and this process is inevitably difficult. Many women also hope to give birth to a healthy full-term baby. However, how many weeks of pregnancy is considered full-term?
Pregnancy at 37 weeks is considered full-term, which is approximately 40 weeks. However, when the pregnancy reaches 37 weeks, it is considered a full-term baby. Generally, it is normal to give birth after 37 weeks of pregnancy but not exceeding 42 weeks. If delivery occurs before 37 weeks, it is considered premature birth, while exceeding 42 weeks is considered an expired pregnancy. Generally speaking, the developmental indicators of full-term infants are relatively complete, and their physical condition at birth is mostly good, with a weight of about 3 kilograms and a length of about 30cm.
If it is an expired pregnancy or a premature baby, there may be some adverse symptoms. Therefore, if the normal delivery time has passed and the baby has not shown signs of labor, measures should be taken to promote delivery. If it is premature, parents should actively take care of the baby after birth.
Full term only means that the baby meets the birth conditions, but it does not necessarily mean that they will give birth immediately, so women need to understand. If there are no special circumstances during pregnancy, such as fetal distress, breathing difficulties, etc., it is best not to give birth in advance, and try to keep the baby in the uterus to ensure its physical development and health.
