Trimester question

So I am 13wk and 2 days. At what point do I enter my second trimester? I am so confused.

Re: Trimester question

  • It depends on how you measure it it's a matter of opinion. 13w3d if you divide 40w by 3, or after 12 weeks if you go by the baby's developmental stages.

  • My OB told me 14 weeks is considered the 2nd trimester.

  • I agree with Kate!

    Totally depends on how your Dr. views it. My midwife considers 12 weeks the second tri.

  • I like to go by 13w3d which is today for me! It just makes more sense to me BUT you'll find everyone has a different opinion, 12w, 13w, 13w3d, or 14w are what I typically hear. Pick whichever you like best and go with it! ;)

  • Thank goodness someone asked. I was wondering the same thing

  • I always go by 14 wks = second tri and 28 wks = 3 tri. I find it is so easy to get ahead of yourself and then third tri seems to take forever. Someone on my fb thought she entered third tri at 24 weeks, all I could think was that was going to be a long last trimester!
