I'm pretty sure it's 38 weeks. But I'm a newbie so I could be wrong!

According to my OB 37wks is "full term", but they will not try to actively stop labor once you hit 36wks if you have been having pre-term labor and or you were on bedrest.

Re: Dumb question: when am I full term and ok to go into labor?
My peri natologist was happy I got to 35 weeks. The next goal, when the baby wouldn't have to be in NICU is 37 weeks. Then they say, no matter how much you're "done" with being pregnant, the more days the baby cooks, the better!
May we both get to at least 37!!!

37 weeks, but they really like the baby to stay in until 39 weeks (trust me, I've asked lol).
