if you want to get technical, full term is
after the baby has grown for 9.5 months.
Full term is 40 weeks (10 months) but for
the first 2 weeks of that, you have your
period the first week, then another week
before the sperm and egg join. That's why
you are not considered 'overdue' until 42
weeks.
I've got my sources from a couple places,
a good one is DiscoveryHealth.com.
