Yes, 37 is full term. There are cases where there can still be problems. I just asked my dr about this (I started having contractions at 30 weeks), and he said if I go into labor in week 36 or 37, they will still probably try to get the contractions to stop, just in case. But at week 38 or 39 they would go ahead and let me have it. Every dr has their own opinions on this.

Yes...but if the Dr. is worried they can always give you Steriod shots to help the baby's lung develop faster.. BUT She should be just fine. 37 weeks is considered full term... I know several people that have had their babies earlier than that and they were fine... Try not to worry honey.. Good luck and CONGRATS!!!!!
EDIT!!!!
The fetus is considered full-term between weeks 35 and 40,[20] which means that the baby is considered sufficiently developed for life outside the womb.[

more than likely yes
37 weeks is technically "full term" I'm getting induced on 9/26 because my twins are too much for my body to handle any longer my due date is 10/9...
by the way congrats mommy

Medically speaking, a baby born week 37 or later is considered full term.
A baby born prior to week 37 is technically considered premature.

Yes. I know someone who had the same due date as you. She had her baby on 9-15, she is a week old and is so tiny and cute.

37 weeks is full term so your daughter would be just fine (as long as your dates are correct) my daughter was born at 37weeks 1day and she was perfectly healthy 7lbs 3oz no problems then or now!
Good luck

She will be fine. My son was born at 29 weeks and is now 3 years-old and completely healthy with no delays.

37 weeks is considered full-term.

Yea, she would be just fine. 40 weeks is full term (not 37) but usually anything after 8 months is just fine. I think the last month everything is developed it is just used as extra time to "pack on the baby fat"! :-) Just relax, she would be fine!!
