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.
Pregnancy is considered late term from 41 weeks, 0 days' to 41 weeks, 6 days' gestation, and postterm at 42 weeks' gestation. Cochrane review showed that beginning sweeping at term (beyond 38 weeks) reduced the duration of pregnancy and reduced the likelihood that the pregnancy would continue beyond 41 weeks (relative risk = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.74) or 42 weeks (relative risk = 0.28; 95% CI, 0.15 to 0.50).
