The dobutamine stress echo test involves the injection of a medication called dobutamine while you are closely monitored. The medication stimulates your heart in a similar way as exercise. Important: If you have a pacemaker/defibrillator, it must be checked at Cleveland Clinic before your dobutamine stress echo test.
Your Baby During the Second Trimester. The second trimester is normally considered to be from the beginning of the fourth month to the end of the sixth month. This works out in weeks to start from about the thirteenth week of pregnancy.
At what week do you begin your second trimester? I've gotten on many baby/mommy websites and have gotten the 12th week, 13th week and the 14th week. I suppose I could ask my doctor but my next appointment isn't for 2 weeks! I'm 10w3d now.
