if your due date is Nov.3rd then you are approx. 11 weeks and a few days.
So technically you are in your 1st trimest until this weekend.
your 1st trimester is up to 12 wks
your 2nd trimester is 12-27wks
your 3rd trimester is 28-40wks.

I have 2 books that say that you are in your 1st trimester until week 14.
Is this wrong?

some places go by week 14 and others by 12. my Dr went by 12 and my pregnancy book goes by 14! but i think the reason it is 14 is because of 12 weeks gestation....

I've always been told week 28 starts your 3rd trimester.

Got it!!! Thanks! Wink I am supposed to be at week 20 today but I just came back from the doctor's for my check up and after getting back all my tests results, and b/c of the u/s measurements (2nd one) and where my uterus is now sitting, they think I'm actually a week ahead, but they said they are not changing my due date!
