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.
There's no official definition, but the trimesters are generally considered to be about three months each. At BabyCenter, you graduate to the second trimester the day you turn 14 weeks pregnant. The third starts the day you turn 28 weeks pregnant.
