Third trimester?

Question

Glow considers 26 weeks the start of the third trimester? I got a “welcome” notification today. Kinda weird? I still think it’s a toss up between 27 and 28 weeks. 
Also, pretty sure I have sciatica starting tomorrow on my right side this week ☹️ If anyone has any tips, I’d love them! It’s not too bad but I’m a little sad about having to change my workout routine again and take it easier.

Answer

Man I didn’t get a welcome...I’m over 27 weeks lol but yeah I agree it doesn’t start til the 28th week anyways

Answer

I didnt consider myself in the 3rd trimester til 27 weeks. And as for sciatica remedies, I use village naturals bubble bath. It has all kinds of essential oils that are safe while pregnant it literally is the only thing that has given me any relief. I use it before I go to bed.

Answer

I don’t consider myself being in third trimester just yet. I’m also 26 weeks 💖🥰

Answer

I think it starts at 27 weeks. I'm 28 weeks so either way. 26 weeks is still the second trimester

Answer

I didn't get a welcome yet, either - 26 weeks since Tuesday.

Answer

If you do exact math, from conception or the beginning of me strip period to 40 weeks and divide by three, it comes out that the third month starts at 26.6 or something. So according to exact math it would be around 27 weeks. When asking my doctor she said your in the gray area of starting the third trimester between 26 and 28 weeks due to different opinions. Therefore, I think once we get a little past 26 weeks we can consider ourselves right at the beginning of the third. Although, it’s just 2 weeks difference so it doesn’t matter much. Oh and to relieve my sciatica I do daily stretches pulling knees to outside of chest and leg stretches. Also if you lay on the side that hurts during an attack it relieves it. Warm baths help of course and putting a pillow in between your legs really does help. Keeping your knees together as much as much possible also prevents an attack and can relieve an attack when it comes. Keeping good posture when walking and sitting in a chair with adequate support helps keep everything aligned which can decrease the chance of attacks.

Answer

It all depends which one you go by.

Answer

I didn't get a notification and I'm almost 27 weeks. Bummer lol

Answer

I asked my doctor and she confirmed it starts at 28 weeks!

Answer

Agreed! Just turned 26 weeks today and it said welcome to your third trimester 🤔 that definitely doesn’t start until 28 weeks. I wasn’t even thinking about the 3rd trimester approaching but now I‘m impatient 🤪
