What do you consider the 3rd trimester?

Question

I know a lot of people have mixed thoughts about the 27th week starting the 3rd trimester or the 28th week starts the 3rd trimester. What do you think?

Answer

I say the 28th because then your fully in it but if you break it down fully into 2 it’s technically 26.6. Honestly it doesn’t matter lol even drs have different sayings about it

Answer

I feel like mathematically it's 27 weeks, but I like to just say 28 because I know for sure everyone counts that as being in the third trimester. It doesn't really matter anyways so an extra week doesn't bother me.

Answer

27 weeks! :)

Answer

28 weeks is what every doctor I know goes by. It’s the last 12 weeks of your pregnancy. You’re technically not even pregnant the first 2 weeks of the “40 weeks” of pregnancy anyways as you haven’t yet ovulated.
