I agree with other comments don't stress premature labor. They will rry everything in their power to bring ur baby closest to full term. I had a baby at 39 wks  he was 8/8 and one at 38 ans 6 she was 7/4. Yes don't stress, relax and enjoy baby growing.

37 weeks everything is full developed and the baby is considered full term if the baby stays in the hospital it maybe for an additional day or not at all. A baby can survive outside the wimb at earlier weeks but can suffer greater complications. I think the earliest a baby can survive outside the womb prematurly is about 24 weeks. I think!

After 32 weeks the survival rate is higher, but they can survive (with lots of help) before that. Don't worry about preterm birth, though. Stress isn't good for baby, and if you're not having any complications, you're more likely to go over your due date than under it.

37 weeks is considered full term... but you really want to aim for after 38 weeks
