3 of my kids were born at 36 wks 2 days, 36 weeks 5 days, and 36 weeks 5 days. Weights were 5 pounds 9.8 ounces for 2 and 5lbs 12 0z for one. All had jaundice but one had to be seen by dr two days after leaving hospital. Another one was left under the warming lamp. Was that caused from being born early and are they considered preemies and is so what degree? one also has a heart problem

36 weeks gestation or earlier. There are 3 degrees of prematurity based on how early the baby is. From 37 weeks on the baby is considered full term.

Technically anything before 38 weeks is considered pre-term, but generally babies under 36 weeks need the special care of a preemie.

I believe a child born before either 36 or 37 weeks in considered preterm. If you google preterm labor you will find your answer.

37 weeks is considered full term. anything before that is premature. Micropreemies are babies born under 1500 grams in weight.
