Subject: ABM protocol  on near terms

Nancy, I noticed under the "definition" there is a  typo.  They state  that
the age could include 37 6/7 to 37 6/7  weeks.
Should it say to 38 6/7 week?
I had always heard the definition  of near term was 35-38 weeks.
Thanks for sharing this protocol.

Ann,
That was my first impression since the type is so small. It states 37 0/7  to
37 6/7 weeks. That would take in the entire 37th week without going into the
38th which would bring the baby into the full-term category.
