In order to avoid confusion, I told MIL "at 14 weeks, on March 15th, is when my doctor advises its okay to tell people."

Then again americanpregnancy.org says it's through the end of the 13th week. Who knows! I think it's more about developmental stages, if I remember correctly. <a href="http://americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/fetaldevelopment.htm" rel="nofollow">http://americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/fetaldevelopment.htm</a> katsupgirl on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1462447 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:06:39 +0000 katsupgirl 1462447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 13 or whenever I stopped feeling nauseous.

They give different dates for when the second trimester begins and for when the third trimester begins. Your health care provider might prefer to use the Development method, while another Midwife or Doctor may use the Gestation method. by Development: This uses actual developmental stages to divide up a pregnancy. From LMP to 12 weeks the embryo develops all the major organs and becomes a fetus. From 12 weeks to 27 weeks the fetus continues developing and reaches viability. From 27 weeks on the fetus finishes development and prepares for delivery. Here the second trimester begins at 12w 0d and the third at 27w 0d. by Gestation: With this method you take the 40 weeks of gestation and divide into three equal stages. Here the second trimester begins at 13w 3d and the third at 26w 6d. by Conception: This method is where you take the 38 weeks of post conception development, divide by three, into the three equal trimesters. Here the second trimester begins at 14w 5d and the third at 27w 3d.

But I like @CupQuakeWalk's logic...that makes a lot of sense! littlek on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1461183 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 09:41:31 +0000 littlek 1461183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 13 mrs.shinerbock on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1461178 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 09:32:33 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1461178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Once I had completed the 13th week, I considered myself in the 2nd trimester.

I say 14 only because it seems the majority of sources say this. Most people it seems nowadays go by weeks rather than trimesters.

But I don't think anyone really cares what trimester anyone else is in, so go for it and call it now if you want to celebrate the milestone early! :) CupQuakeWalk on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460926 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:45:28 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1460926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 14. A trimester is 13 weeks because you finish the 13th week up. 40w/13=3 trimesters because the due date is exactly on week 40. That's my logic. chopsuey on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460922 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:42:31 +0000 chopsuey 1460922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 14 HLK208 on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460899 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:29:47 +0000 HLK208 1460899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 13 lovehoneybee on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460896 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:29:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 1460896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 14 Mrs. M on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460891 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:24:33 +0000 Mrs. M 1460891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 14 Bao on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460875 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:14:25 +0000 Bao 1460875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 13 weeks NavyRN2012 on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460834 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 21:53:45 +0000 NavyRN2012 1460834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 13 coopsmama on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460786 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 21:28:29 +0000 coopsmama 1460786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 13 autumnlove on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460782 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 21:25:45 +0000 autumnlove 1460782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 14 Torchwood on "When did YOU consider yourself in the second trimester?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-in-the-second-trimester#post-1460777 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 21:21:25 +0000 Torchwood 1460777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ There doesn't seem to be a consensus on when the second trimester starts (and I'd guess it's the same for the third). Some say 13 weeks, some say 14. So when did you actually call it, and why? I'm leaning towards 14, just because it seems like it divides up 40 weeks better, but I can't decide. I'm 13 weeks today, so I'm sort of there!
