What are Preterm, Term, and Post-term Pregnancies?
Gestational age categorizes pregnancies into:
Preterm: Birth before 37 weeks of gestation. Term: Birth between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation. Post-term: Birth after 42 weeks of gestation.
Preterm births are associated with higher risks of neonatal complications, while post-term pregnancies may require monitoring and potential intervention to avoid complications like macrosomia and oligohydramnios.
