I found the timing of trimesters below on pregnancy.org. There are 3 different ways they are broken down and that's why there is confusion on when the 1st trimester ends. The 12 weeks comes from breaking the trimesters down by development.

When Does First Trimester End?

The first trimester starts with the first day of your last menstrual period, and ends roughly 13 or 14 weeks later. Three different methods are used to divide up a pregnancy into the three trimesters. Each methods results in slightly different spans for the trimesters.

The development method uses the developmental stages to divide up a pregnancy. The second trimester begins at 12 weeks and the third at 27 weeks.

From LMP to 12 weeks, the embryo develops all the major organs.
From 12 weeks to 27 weeks the fetus continues developing . At 27 weeks, your baby is considered viable.
From 27 weeks on, your baby gets matures and prepares for delivery.
The gestation method divides the 40 weeks of gestation into three equal stages. Using the gestation method, the second trimester begins at 13 weeks 3 days and the third at 26 weeks 6 days.

The conception method splits the 38 weeks after conception development into the three equal trimesters. The two week before conception become part of the first trimester. With this method, the second trimester begins at 14 weeks 5 days and the third at 27 weeks 3 days.

I always thought it was 12 weeks. got a bit longer then before we can go into tri 2 lol

 

[Eryinera]

It's only a little bit further x in my head it's still 12 weeks but officially I think it's around 14... x

 

[lisey]

Word of advice ladies. Don't use the doppler after drinking fizzy drink. Baby was going crazy, kept moving all over the place, couldn't catch it for long enough because he/she was very active xx

 

[Eryinera]

Lol bless it!

 

[Emily0505]

Awww hyper baby! Bless!

14 weeks!!!!! Nooooooo!!!!! I want the first trimester to finish at 12 weeks. Shall we all just go over en mass at 12 weeks anyway? You know, just break down the door and barge in!?

Just had my daily Doppler dose and little ones heart was beating away. Still brings a smile to my face every time!

[Eryinera]

Aww so cute!

 

[Eryinera]

Been feeling a bit achey and crampy today but I did a lot of stairs and stuff yesterday with the whole cat thing so just wondering if I've overdone it a bit. Also I'm still aware this is my "uterus moving time" so it could just be flopping forward I've had less cm today and err... less wind lol so I bet it's all connected. But you know how we fret! Still not plucked up the courage to buy a doppler yet lol

Also bubs is the size of a cardinal tetra fish finally something I actually know the size of without having to work it out lol

I've also had a lot of cramping this weekend. It's very much like period cramps. I've also had some spotting. I spoke to a midwife and she said that it can be both the movement of the uterus and the placenta taking over. She said with the spotting I should go in on Monday morning to the EPU as it's closed today and they should do a scan to check things out. I'm a little worried, but I can still find a strong heartbeat. Being able to find the hb has given me some reassurance, but a scan would make me feel better. Hopefully the scan will show that all is okay and what was causing the bleeding.

 

[Eryinera]

Thanks kabuk and I hope you get answers tomorrow.

 

[lisey]

Good luck tomorrow kabuki. I am sure all will be fine xx

 

[Eryinera]

Lisey look how close you are to 12 weeks!!!!

 

[lisey]

[Eryinera]

Good luck hun x x x x I was sick this morning only just managed to make it to the bathroom! Nausea at the moment has gone but if I move it's there I'm so tired and I keep getting aches on the inside on my right hip right where there sharp pain was when I got admitted to hospital but only about 1% of that pain don't low if it's right clothes last of fluids a pulled muscle trapped wind or something else.
Had a massive bout of hiccups that hubby and son were taking the mick out of me for before though lol. And I shit myself up when I went to readjust my knicks looked at my hand just before I washed them and under my nails was bright bright red then i realised I'd just had loads of tomato sauce! so if I panic later.......
