Full term has actually changed to 39 weeks. So your baby would preterm but very likely to be perfect!

Anything before 36 weeks is preterm labor. Almost had my son at 32 weeks but they were able to stop my contractions! (: so youll be fine if you have him any day now! (:

I had my youngest at 36w with a c-section and she was a preemie but I breastfed her and she stayed the 3 days while I recovered in the hospital and she was discharged at the same time I was. Best of luck!

At 37 wks your baby wouldn't be considered premature anymore. It's still preterm but most likely he would be healthy and strong enough to go home right away.
