Question

By definition, premature infants are born prior to ____ weeks after conception.

Answer 1

I think it is either 37-38 weeks

Answer 2

If a woman goes into labor before 37 weeks, it is called preterm labor. Late preterm babies who are born between 35 and 37 weeks gestation may not look premature. They may not be admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), but they are still at risk for more problems than full-term babies.
