Check In here as you pass into the 2nd Tri !!!

[ChrissieColinsMom]

This is a huge milestone that some of us are just about to pass! I wanted to start this post as a celebration of the 2nd Tri. More energy, less ms and less worries,(in theory) it sounds like a wonderful place to be. :

Let us know as you pass this milestone.

When does the second tri technically start? I know I should know this but I can never remember...

[WeasleyMum]

Because it varies according to what source you use! But, roughly, 40 weeks / 3 trimesters = 13 weeks 2 days. Some books will say 13 weeks, some 14, some even 12 for unknown reasons.

On Thanksgiving I will be either 13 weeks 1 day or 13w3d (there's been some confusion ) so I am counting that as my threshold day. Guess I'll check back here then if I still can!

Ah. I wondered how to figure that out. Makes sense though. When I figured up where I'd be at 13wks 2 days, it's exactly three months after my last period. Duh.

December 3rd can't come quick enough!

I'm counting it as 12 weeks, as I've seen that around too. Babycenter Canada, for one, has 12 weeks as the 2nd trimester, as does visible embryo. Also, that's when the placenta takes over, and since that's a milestone in and of itself, I count that one.

I need surgery in the 2nd trimester for my gall bladder. My RE said anytime on or after Dec 20th for me, which would be 12 weeks, 3 days.

It's still SO far away :

[ChrissieColinsMom]

I posted this thinking 12 weeks because I've seen that used so often. But I agree that 13w and a few days is more accurate.

I'm 12 weeks today. I'm definitely counting it as a milestone. :

[Alohamelly]

I'll hit 12 weeks in 2 days!

[Critty]

We are 12 weeks today as well : : :

[Alohamelly]

Okay, my ticker says I'm 12 weeks today.

In the past, I have considered 12 weeks, but based on when my first trimester symptoms went away, it was always between week 13 and 14. So I guess I will use that as the threshold (which will be Dec. 2nd). I am so looking forward to the next trimester. This has been the hardest pregnancy for me yet and I just want to put it behind me!

[ChrissieColinsMom]

I'm 12w2d today and officially calling myself in the 2nd tri. I had the NT scan this morning and everything looked good. We are going to tell our son tonight and my h's family on Wed. I'm so excited & relaxed.

[WeasleyMum]

I'm 13 weeks today but I'm not counting 2nd-trimester until Wednesday. (Yes, I'm weird, I know.) But still-- 13 weeks! ME! This is my 5th pregnancy and that has never happened before.

[heatherh]

Well, I'm calling 12 weeks and heartbeat 2nd trimester! Woohoo!

[sonuptosondown]

I'm 12 weeks today and this is 2nd trimester for us, yahoo!!
Dh told his parents yesterday and they are very pleased, especially because we are so far along already and they don't have to worry quite so much
We also told the kiddos yesterday and they are very happy, also. I wasn't sure what to expect from them and was so happy they were happy

[sunflwrmoonbeam]

12 weeks today! My doc's office says I'm 2nd trimester, I have a functional placenta, so here I am!

WOO HOO!!!!!

[KJRSMR]
