third trimester?

At what week does the third trimester begin?  What are some of the big changes that happened during the last trimester besides the arrival of your baby?  :)

If you divide it in thirds it's 27 weeks. I prefer to go by bench marks, so I use 28 weeks. At 28 weeks your baby's chance of survival goes to 90%. I haven't noticed all that many changes to be honest I've had a headache for two weeks now, but I don't see that as the norm haha! Your baby is starting to put on weight quickly, and I believe at this point many women gain about a pound a week.
