Preterm birth, also known as premature birth, is the birth of a baby at less than 37 weeks gestational age. These babies are known as preemies or premmies. Symptoms of preterm labor include uterine contractions which occur more often than every ten minutes or the leaking of fluid from the vagina.
40 weeks is about 9 months and 1 week (9.2 months). Actual gestation (from conception to birth) is just under 9 months. Whether or not a baby is premature depends more on its size and weight than how many weeks along the mother is in the pregnancy. When referring to length of pregnancy, if a baby comes early (generally before about 36 weeks) it is best referred to as pre-term. This means that a baby could be pre-term but not premature.
