fuldbårne

Fuldbårne is a Danish term that translates to "fully born" or "term-born" and is primarily used in the context of childbirth and pregnancy. It refers to a baby born at the end of a normal gestation period, typically considered to be between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy. This designation is important for medical professionals to assess the baby's health and development, as babies born within this window are generally considered to be mature and less likely to experience complications associated with prematurity or post-maturity.

The term distinguishes these babies from premature infants, who are born before 37 weeks of gestation, and post-term infants, who are born after 42 weeks. The classification of a baby as fuldbårne helps guide decisions regarding postnatal care, feeding, and any necessary interventions. It is a standard descriptor in obstetrics and pediatrics to categorize newborns based on their gestational age at birth, providing a baseline for evaluating their immediate health status and developmental readiness for life outside the womb. The full-term birth is generally associated with optimal outcomes for both the infant and the mother.
