what is the term for pregnancy
Your due date is the date that your provider thinks you will have your baby. ACOG and SMFM now define a full-term pregnancy as a pregnancy that lasts between 39 weeks, 0 days and 40 weeks 6 days. Babies born full term have the best chance of being healthy, compared with babies born earlier or later. The definitions are: 1  Early term: Your baby is born between 37 weeks, 0 days and 38 weeks, 6 days.  Full term: Your baby is born between 39 weeks, 0 days and 40 weeks, 6 days.
