Delivery at 34 weeks of gestation is considered preterm birth. Preterm birth refers to delivery occurring between 28 weeks and less than 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. Infants born during this period are called preterm infants, with birth weights ranging from 1000 to 2499 grams, and their organs are not yet fully developed. Since 34 weeks of gestation has not reached 37 weeks, delivery at this stage is classified as preterm birth.
