A member asked:
Before how many weeks is a delivery considered a premature baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Before 37 weeks: 37 weeks of pregnancy and beyond is considered "full term". Even babies born between 37 and 39 weeks can have more problems with breathing and eating than babies born after 39 weeks though.
