When is the first tri over?

I am ll wks 5 days. Does the 2nd tri start at 13 weeks?

I am so happy to be this far a long after two losses at 5 and 8 wks but I am so tired. I don't throw up but I feel sick alot and have heartburn alot. We were suppose to go to our favorite fancu restaurant tonight for the anniversary of our first date, but I don't want to go because I am afraid it will be a big waste of money. I want to go when food actually sounds good and does hurt after you eat it.

I feel terrible complaining because I am so happy to be preg! My friend who has never had a baby was "so comforting" this morning when she said don't worry you only have 6 or 7 months to go and then you will have different issues.

Having a bad day, thanks for letting me rant.

Some people say 12 weeks kicks off the 2nd tri and other's 13. I always consider myself in the 2nd at 13 weeks because that is how my Dr. does it. Heartburn just kicked in for me too this week (I am 11 wks tomorrow). With my two kiddos, the MS went away around 12 weeks but I had HB until I delivered. I remember telling the nurse after I delivered my first child, "I can't believe I don't have any heartburn". It had become such a way of life, it was odd not to have it, LOL.

Hi Donna....


I think the official date is 13 weeks, 1 day :)


That is a stinker about not feeling well.

My doctor said the first trimester is over at 14weeks (13weeks 5 days.) It seemed like an impossible distance but once I got there I was so happy.

Hope your pregnancy is happy and uneventful:)
