Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowWhy 39 Weeks Matters for Baby’s HealthTurns out, those last few weeks in the womb are a big deal! Full-term pregnancy is now officially 39 weeks, not 37. Babies born at 39-40 weeks have healthier brains, lungs, and livers, and are less likely to have learning or health issues later. Unless there’s a medical reason, docs say don’t schedule that induction or C-section before 39 weeks. Waiting just a little longer really does make a difference! #PregnancyFacts #FullTerm #BabyHealth #Health90Share
