Third Trimester?

Question

Okay, so this app says I'm in my third trimester at 26 weeks, but i thought it started at week 28?

Answer

My doctor told me it starts the 28th week.

Answer

I believe its just a mistake on their part

Answer

This app basically assumes you were actually pregnant for every week that you are "pregnant", for instance, that if you are 12 weeks 5 days, you actually conceived 12 weeks and 5 days ago. However this is inaccurate 100% of the time, because your date is calculated from the last day of your last period. So there is always a minimum of 5 days, usually 10-15 days, where you were not pregnant, but your pregnancy dating assumes that you were. Which is why many doctors consider your first trimester to end at 14 weeks (about 12 weeks of ACTUALLY being pregnant), etc.

Answer

Here we go :)

Answer

Every book and other app I have, plus online charts says the third trimester starts at 27 weeks.
