When is full term during pregnancy?

I'm expecting my first baby and I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy. My doctor has started talking about 'full term'. Can you please explain when exactly a pregnancy is considered to be full term?

Full term is usually considered 39 weeks 0 days through 40 weeks 6 days! Don't stress too much, your doc will guide you perfectly. Just enjoy this last bit of pregnancy, loads of rest and good food!

Full term pregnancy is generally from 39 weeks up to 40 weeks and 6 days! By then, you'll probably be craving all sorts of things! Just listen to your body and your doctor. And maybe stock up on some easy-to-eat snacks for after the baby arrives!

Bhai, full term is generally when it's between 39 weeks and 40 weeks 6 days. My sister just had her baby, and her doctor was very particular about reaching that full term mark. It's good to be informed, but just follow what the doctor says.

Full term for pregnancy is typically between 39 weeks 0 days and 40 weeks 6 days. I remember trying some gentle stretches and walking during my pregnancy, which my doctor said was fine. But for any medical definition or concern, always, always consult your gynecologist. They are the best guide.

Full term is usually 39 to 40 weeks and 6 days. By then, you'll probably be so sleep-deprived you won't even know what day it is! But seriously, hitting that full-term mark is important for the baby's development. Hang in there, mom-to-be, the finish line is near!

Full term is typically considered from 39 weeks 0 days to 40 weeks 6 days. Staying active with doctor-approved exercises like walking and prenatal yoga can be really beneficial during this phase. It helps prepare the body, but always confirm with your gynaecologist about what's safe for you.
