28 weeks according to NHS

I’ve always thought it was 27 weeks 😂 but everything I’m reading is saying 28 weeks 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

I have 28 weeks on my apps.

28weeks. Realistically, your due date (whilst not always accurate is 40 weeks). There are 3 trimesters in pregnancy... 40/3=13.333... Some people say the first trimester ends at 12 weeks, others 13 weeks. If it was all 13 weeks, then you'd be due at 39 weeks and be in the 3rd at 26 weeks... that .333 needs to be accounted for somewhere... and realistically, mathematically, it doesn't add up properly, lol 😆 I've heard 27 before and based on Maths that makes sense to me. However, I've also been told 28 weeks. Saying that though you are also 'term' at 37 weeks... so like if no one included after that then 37/3=12.33 but then if you go over 42/3=14. There's like a million ways to work it out... I'd personally say anything around 27 weeks should be acceptable lol 😆 different apps and websites all say different... I wonder if it's to do with a particular developmental leap? 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx

@Zöe due a day apart but I also got told 27 weeks x

28 weeks xx

2nd trimester is up until the end of of week 27 so 28weeks is the start of 3rd trimester xx
