Understanding "Full Term"

While 40 weeks is the target, a baby is considered full term anywhere from 39 weeks to 40 weeks and 6 days.

Term Definitions

  • Early Term: 37 weeks 0 days to 38 weeks 6 days.
  • Full Term: 39 weeks 0 days to 40 weeks 6 days.
  • Late Term: 41 weeks 0 days to 41 weeks 6 days.
  • Post Term: 42 weeks and beyond.

Why LMP?

Doctors use the Last Menstrual Period (LMP) because ovulation dates vary, but the start of a period is a distinct, observable event. An early ultrasound is usually the most accurate method to confirm gestational age.
