So what is a trimester?
Pregnancy is often thought of as a period of nine months but in fact it’s slightly longer than this. This is why your dates are referred to in weeks.
Pregnancy usually lasts around 40 weeks and is split into three-month terms, called ‘trimesters’.
First trimester – weeks 1 to 12
Second trimester – weeks 13 to 28
Third trimester – weeks 29 to 40
Each trimester has its own mix of highs and lows, and you’ll find out what to expect here, which others close to you might find helpful too.
