Well my doctor said that it starts when you reach 28 weeks, then you're in the third trimemster, that means we are almost there, yey us!!!!

I really never paid attention, i just get excited about counting down the weeks, like i only have 13 left, YaY.  Or just divide 40 weeks into 3, i figure 13 weeks and a day in a half is a trimester lol.

I always use 28 weeks. But Medhelp seems to be a bit off lol.

The pregnancy tracker on medhelp starts at 29 weeks.  But I have read anywhere from 26-29 weeks.  I just considered myself third trimester when I hit 28 weeks.

Either way you are real close!!
