40 weeks
I am not sure why you would have an amniocentesis at 38 weeks, it may be done earlier to assess lung maturity prior to pre-term delivery but at 38 weeks the lungs are mature and delivery would npot be called pre=term. If for paternity testing delivery is so close it is not worth it. As the baby is so big it is difficult to find a large enough pool of amniotic fluid to sample.
That is very dependant on both the current health of the baby and the mother. I delivered four healthy babies at 33 +4 weeks, with no long term complication. From memory after 29 weeks there is a 90% survival rate.
36 to 42 weeks is considered full-term. Anything before 36 weeks is considered premature. Preemies have all sorts of problems. Generally, the earlier the baby, the greater the risk of complications.
40 weeks is true full term but most Dr's consider 36 to 37 weeks "full term" and safe for delivery.
I am a Labor & Delivery Nurse - We Call It A Fetal Demise. A Baby is not Viable until 23-24 weeks, but it is not just termed a miscarriage.
The standard benefit for normal delivery is six weeks for vaginal birth, and eight weeks for a c-section delivery.
Premature labor is contractions that occur after 20 weeks and before 37 weeks during pregnancy. The baby is more likely to survive and be healthy if it remains in the uterus for the full term of the pregnancy.
A normal head first delivery is known as a Spontaneous Vertex Delivery (SVD). The vertex is the medical name for the part of the baby's head that is delivered first (the baby is lying with the chin on the chest (head tucked in))
Your doctor may require bed rest for your pregnancy. Short Term Disability will usually pay a benefit provided there is a medical reason that you can't perform your job duties. Short Term Disability will also pay a benefit after you deliver your baby. The common benefit is six weeks for a vaginal delivery, and eight weeks for a c-section delivery, less the elimination period.
A baby can usually be safely delivered after 37 weeks gestation. That is considered the minimum for full term. There are no "required" amount of days past this for delivery.
The medical term for preemie is premature infant, referring to a baby born before completing 37 weeks of gestation.
A typical maternity leave lasts for six weeks for a vaginal delivery, and eight weeks for a c-section delivery. Most people would consider this to be a short term benefit, as the leave is relatively short and time bound.
