OB surprised me with this one

I had my 24 week apt today and she comes in saying congrats on 3rd tri.  I am thinking that she read my chart wrong or something. I said "no i'm not!"  (we have a good relationship) But she says that they consider 3rd tri 24 weeks bc that is when the baby is viable out of the womb even tho it doesn't create 3 equal week trimesters.  Then I backtrack and semi apologize saying I know she is the expert.  We had a good laugh!  I doesn't really matter, but I was shocked.  Jesse's HB was 145 and my ute is measuring 26 weeks!  YIKES I need to slow down.

 BUT, dr. google all says 28 weeks for 3rd tri. anyone else heard this 24 weeks is 3rd tri?

    I have always heard 26 weeks is third trimester. Congrats on viability!

    I just break it up into three equal trimesters and consider just shy of 27 weeks to be 3rd tri.  There's so many ways people determine it, so just go with what works for you.  Most important thing is getting to 24 weeks.  Hopefully it's all downhill from here until Jesse arrives!

    People divide it up differently, so I would just go with what my OB says!  Congratulations on making it to 24 weeks!
    After 1.5 years TTC, IUI #2= BFP 12/2/12
