What Term Means Now. For years, babies were considered term (what we often call full-term) between 37 and 41 weeks of pregnancy. Most physicians believed that major organ development was complete by 37 weeks and that babies simply packed on pounds during the last stretch of pregnancy. The latest research, however, has proved them wrong.
Babies born during this time are called full-term babies. A baby born before the 37th week of pregnancy is called premature or preterm. If your pregnancy lasts past the end of the 41st week, it is called a post-term pregnancy. In other words, the baby is overdue.At the end of 41 weeks, your doctor may talk to you about inducing labour to make sure your baby is born healthy.
