When conducting research and data analyses for ASQ-3, the developers used 39 weeks as a full-term pregnancy. To calculate the number of weeks premature, you subtract the gestational weeks at birth (e.g., 35 weeks) from 39 weeks. However, if your program uses 40 weeks (or 38 weeks) as a full term pregnancy, you can continue to do so while using ASQ.
