How many trimesters in a pregnancy?

My sister is pregnant, and we keep hearing the term 'trimester' often. I'm not clear on the full division. Can someone tell me how many trimesters are typically in a pregnancy and what they signify?

There are three trimesters in a pregnancy. Since thyroid levels can fluctuate significantly during each of these three-month periods, please ensure you get your TSH levels monitored regularly and follow up with your doctor for dosage adjustments.

There are three trimesters! The first one is mostly about fighting off nausea, the second is when the amazing food cravings actually kick in, and the third is when you are too full to eat much at once. Enjoy the journey and satisfy those cravings healthily!

Pregnancy has three trimesters in total. Your nutritional needs will change in each phase, so focus on protein-rich vegetarian foods like paneer, dal, and green leafy vegetables. Be careful with your diet and avoid eating raw sprouts or unwashed salads.

It's three trimesters, which is basically the 9 months split into three parts of 3 months each. Learned this in our health science class last semester!

You have three trimesters in a full pregnancy. Keeping up with safe, low-impact exercises like walking or prenatal strength training during each trimester is great for recovery and stamina, provided your doctor clears you for it.

My sister just completed her pregnancy and yes, there are three trimesters. Each phase has its own set of milestones and body changes, so just take it one day at a time and keep your doctor close for any questions.
