A premature baby is one who is born too early, before 37 weeks. Premature babies may have more health problems and may need to stay in the hospital longer than babies born later. They also may have long-term health problems that can affect their whole lives. About 1 in 10 babies is born prematurely each year in the United States.
And they base everything off your due date. So if he was born at 35 weeks he is considered 5 weeks premature. But they don't consider a 37 week baby premature because everything is already developed but they are still 3 weeks early, but weigh enough to where they could be the same size as a baby born at 40 weeks.
