Is being 37 weeks pregnant considered premature?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as for obstetrics, giving birth at 37 weeks is considered full term. Delivering before 37 weeks is considered premature. Whether it's time to give birth, you can feel it: on the day of delivery, women may feel irritable, which is a clear signal from the body. Some expectant mothers may also experience symptoms such as a racing heart, feeling hot, or headaches. Additionally, some people may lose their appetite or feel unusually hungry, or they may experience diarrhea or severe constipation.
