Before 37 weeks. However, 36 weeks is still considered full term for twins.

Anything before 37 weeks is considered premature. Doctors will usually try to stop labor to get the baby to at least the 37 week mark. I had my son 2 months early, I was at 32 weeks. He weighed 4 lb. 7 oz. He is perfectly fine now. A typical little 4 year old.

I had a premature baby- many years ago. He was due mid April- he was born late January. He weighted 1lb 10 oz. He lived for only a few hours on machines.
Anything earlier then 37 weeks is considered premature in the medical field.

A normal Pregnancy lasts 38-40 weeks. Depending onthe due date a baby born 8 weeks early would be at about 32 weeks gestation and would probably weigh 3-4 lbs.The baby's survival rate if born that early is around 90-95%.

I think the earliest for full-term is 36 weeks. I don't know the average birth weight for a baby at 32 weeks, but at that point they're just putting on weight. Their lungs should be good to go at that point. Don't quote me on that though, because I can't think of anything concrete to prove it.
