Is a baby at 37 weeks 5 days full term? How much longer until birth?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a fetus at 37 weeks of pregnancy is considered full-term, so there's no need to worry about preterm labor anymore. However, it's still best to wait for the baby to start labor naturally. Babies born between 38 and 42 weeks of pregnancy are considered normal.
