when does the first trimester end and when does the second trimester start?!

Question

Reading so many different things(saying 13 weeks is the start then some say 14) and it's just confusing me!

Answer

My doc said it's technically 13 weeks 3 day. That's why doctors round up or down

Answer

The word trimester literally means 'three months', tri=3, 3 months of 4 weeks each is 12.

Answer

This confuses me too. I'll just know for sure when I'm 14 weeks I'll be in my second trimester 🙈

Answer
