Is it possible for a full-term baby to be born at any time?

Generally, a baby can be born at any time once full term is reached. The details are as follows:

A baby is considered full term when gestational age falls within the normal range, typically between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy. By this stage, the baby's organs are largely developed, and weight, length, and other factors have reached standards suitable for birth. Therefore, it is generally believed that once full term is achieved, the baby could be ready to arrive at any moment. However, although a baby is full term, this does not mean that every pregnant woman will go into labor immediately. Under normal circumstances, most women with full-term pregnancies will experience contractions at some point, which then progress into active labor and lead to delivery. The exact timing of labor depends on multiple factors, including the health status of both mother and baby, the mother’s physical readiness for childbirth, and other individual variations.

If you have any questions or concerns, it is recommended to consult an obstetrician-gynecologist, who can provide personalized advice and guidance.
