9 months is the 'standard' time that a woman is pregnant for and during this time, the baby is developing. If the baby is born before 36 weeks, the baby is said to be 'premature' because the baby has not reached his/her full level of development.

A baby who is born, either naturally or by caesarian, before completing nine months in the womb is called a premature baby. The process is known as a premature birth.

Premature births are quite dangerous as the baby may be many weeks or months underdeveloped, leading to life-long health issues.

In the earlier stages of the unborn baby's life its called a embryo. Then as the baby grows bigger, later in pregnancy its called a fetus until it is born.
