What is considered Preemie?

skibi83

This is probably a silly question, but is the baby considered premature only if it is born before 36 weeks gestation, or is it anytime before the 40weeks?

Thanks.

37-40 weeks is considered term, anything below is considered premature.

This and there are also different levels of prematurity.
