Re: Trimester Controversy (A Place for all you miserable ladies to voice your opinion about nothing)
The three basic ways to calculate trimesters
Development, Gestation, Conception. They give different dates for when the second trimester begins and for when the third trimester begins. Your health care provider might prefer to use theDevelopment method, while another Midwife or Doctor may use the Gestation method.
I am sure they do that just to confuse pregnant women.
by Development:
This uses actual developmental stages to divide up a pregnancy. From LMP to 12 weeks the embryo develops all the major organs and becomes a fetus. From 12 weeks to 27 weeks the fetus continues developing and reaches viability. From 27 weeks on the fetus finishes development and prepares for delivery. Here the second trimester begins at 12w 0d and the third at 27w 0d.by Gestation:
With this method you take the 40 weeks of gestation and divide into three equal stages. Here the second trimester begins at 13w 3d and the third at 26w 6d.by Conception:
This method is where you take the 38 weeks of post conception development, divide by three, into the three equal trimesters. Here the second trimester begins at 14w 5d and the third at 27w 3d.:-??

While we are at it, I consider myself in 3rd tri right now. I'm not even pregnant but being the 3rd tri Mod makes me permanently 3rd tri, right?
I'm not even pregnant. I am in the 5 trimester Lawlz.

The rest of your comments and your title change do not read like someone with a thick skin. We're not miserable women for responding just because we're not responding the way you hoped. Enjoy your life, man, and cute shape. Must be awesome to have those things.... I (as a miserable responder) wouldn't know what any of those things are, right?
