Answer: Each pregnancy is divided into three trimesters. Each trimester is roughly a third of your pregnancy. These three trimesters have different emotional and physical happenings that make them unique. Here is a guided tour through each trimester:
Pregnancy is measured in trimesters from the first day of your last menstrual period, totaling 40 weeks. The first trimester of pregnancy is week 1 through week 12, or about 3 months. The second trimester is week 13 to week 27. And the third trimester of pregnancy spans from week 28 to the birth. Your baby will change from week to week.
