just curious

Ftm here and I'm 30 weeks and 4 days. I'm anxious to meet my baby boy in October and I was wondering  how early you can have a baby? I know he will come when he's ready but I'm curious on how early you can have a baby?!

They actually very recently changed what is considered full term to 38 weeks because of lung development.
