When is third trimester

I'm so confused.  Always thought 27 weeks is when third trimester starts but the hospital I'm delivering at says 25 weeks, others say 27 weeks and 28 weeks. I'm 25 weeks now so I don't exactly know when I'm in third trimester. What are others moms told.

I was told with both my pregnancies week 27 is the start of 7month as well as the start of 3rd trimester.
I was confused with my hospital yesterday as I was always told week 37 was full term, as in there bathroom a poster said 39W was full term......
But Ive always been told that at 36W your baby can come anyday but there lungs are not fully developed till 37W. ?
Its confusing. I hate that there switching everywhere around
