    The third trimester starts week 27 :)
    You would need to talk to you doctor about your vitamin/mineral intake

    The above is correct. The 3rd trimester begins at 27 weeks gestation.

    Not liking red meat is really not a problem as long as your doctor knows this and is monitoring your iron levels. If your levels are low, you might have to take an iron supplement along with your prenatal vitamins.

    As far as how long are you... we in the OB unit where I work, don't really go by "trimesters" or "months." We go by "weeks." As in... "My patient is 36 weeks and 4 days. It's just a more accurate term than trimester or months.
