How long is pregnancy until the baby is fully developed

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, by 38 weeks, the baby's development is mostly mature, but there is significant individual variation. It is recommended that you have a color Doppler ultrasound to check the baby's biparietal diameter and placental grading, and to see if the baby is mature through the ultrasound. If the gestational age is calculated correctly, a Cesarean section at 39 weeks is usually acceptable.
