Some say 37 some say 38 depends on the hospital/midwife etc, but I say 38 in all my articles etc. I would rather have that extra week in case, not that we can help it if a baby decides to come early.
I wouldn't wish unexpected prematurity on anyone - it is a fine line with breathing problems - not just the most prem babies have them, but those past 30 weeks can too. I think it's not so much an issue where it starts as doctors will have to decide to stop your labour or let it continue depending on your situation, but moreso where it ends - some Obs will want to induce close to your due date and some will let nature take it's course, which of course puts you in a whole new ball game for your labour.
