What is considered term pregnancy?

Subject: What is considered term pregnancy?

I have a dictator that said, "The child was born at term.  Mom was 24 weeks' gestation."  I always thought term was somewhere around 36+ weeks.  He went on to say the birth weight was 6 pounds 13 ounces.  Just from experience, I would think a 24-week gestation infant would not weigh that much.


Anyone in OB care to comment?
