The document discusses the definition of term pregnancy. Previously, term was considered 37-42 weeks of gestation, but research shows neonatal outcomes vary within this range. To address this, a work group in 2012 recommended replacing "term" with more specific designations: early term (37-38 weeks), full term (39-40 weeks), late term (41 weeks) and post-term (42+ weeks). They encourage clinicians and researchers to uniformly use these new designations to facilitate data reporting, quality care and research.
