Here’s a link that describes the whole “full term” thing:
http://www.webmd.com/baby/news/20110523/study-gives-new-view-of-full-term-pregnancy
I am a sonigrapher in a high risk Perinatology office, and from all the medical journals I have read, as well as the info I get from doctors I work with daily, they are no longer considering 37 weeks full term because research has found that there is increased risks associated with delivering early. Even with twins, the other day I scanned and she was scheduled to deliver at 39 weeks. 38 weeks is the new “term” and 39 weeks is preferred if that is an option for the mother. Also, you can’t say a baby is fully developed at 37 weeks, because you would need to do an amniocentesis to determine Fetal Lung Maturity. Sometimes we do them at 37 weeks and the tests show the baby’s lungs are not yet mature, so no not fully developed. Sure they have technology that will keep your baby alive and get its lungs working, but why risk it? Of course if there is something wrong and the baby needs to come out early, then it needs to come out early, but there are too many elective C-Sections because the mother doesn’t feel like carrying the baby any more!
