Re: full term....
I was always told 38 weeks. My 3rd baby was a scheduled c/s and they WOULD NOT schedule me for one day earlier than 38 weeks.

37wks is considered full term however very rarely 37wk newborn can have some issues because their lungs did not completely mature and/or other issues associated with prematurity so that is why if it is an elective c/s they wait a little longer for the baby to cook to reduce the chance of any issues.
In my hospital scheduled c/s are not scheduled before 39wks unless medically necessary.

37 weeks. I had my son at 37 weeks - thankfully and he was 7lbs. 12ozs. completely healthy, no problems breathing or eating. He didn't have to stay any longer than necessary.
