Every three months or 12 weeks is a trimester

May through July 1 trimester
Aug through Oct 2nd
Nov through Jan 3rd

That's what I don't understand.. 12 weeks in a trimester but that would only add up to 36 weeks isn't there 40 weeks? I was told by my doctor that its at 12 weeks.. and I have books that say when your 13 weeks... im so confused but thanks for answering me... its just so confusing I just want to be able to say I'm in the second trimester:)

You are in your 2nd trimester when you are in your 4th month at 13 weeks (4 weeks in a month) keep in mind some months have more than 4 weeks
