Another common term you'll hear throughout your pregnancy is trimester. A pregnancy is divided into trimesters: the first trimester is from week 1 to the end of week 12. the second trimester is from week 13 to the end of week 26. the third trimester is from week 27 to the end of the pregnancy.
Hereâs the most common breakdown, along with official weeks from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: First Trimester: 0 weeksâ13 and 6/7 weeks (Months 1â3) Starts with the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) and ends with the last day of the 13th week thereafter. During your last period (which will be your last for a while), your uterus is preparing for ovulation and your body is gearing up for pregnancy, so technically, you can start counting from this point. Second Trimester: 14 and 0/7 weeksâ27 and 6/7 weeks (Months 4 â7) Starts at the beginning of the 14th week after your LMP and lasts through the 27th week of pregnancy. Third Trimester: 28 and 0/7 weeksâ 40 and 6/7 weeks (Months 7â9) Starts at the beginning of the 28th week after your LMP and ends with labor.
