When does third tri start exactly?

[Ms_Friendly]

I hear different things all the time. Some days the third trimester starts at 27 weeks, and some say 28 weeks. Tomorrow I am 27 weeks so I’m wondering if it’s ok to get excited and say I’m in the third trimester or do I have to wait another week?

Everything is different, just go for it! Welcome to third tri!

I always went with 27 weeks but if you want to be technical, it does break out exactly:

End of 1st tri: 13+2 at 8:00AM
End of 2nd tri: 26+4 at 4:00 PM
End of 3rd tri: 40+0 at midnight (obviously ends when baby actually comes)

congrats on being in the home stretch!
