What week does the third trimester of pregnancy start?

Hi, I'm due in a few months and trying to plan things. My doctor briefly mentioned the trimesters, but I forgot what week the third one actually starts. Could you please clarify?

The third trimester begins around week 28. This is when things can get serious, so definitely keep all your doctor's appointments. Better safe than sorry, always get everything checked out properly.

The third trimester usually starts at week 28. It's a crucial phase, don't ignore any discomfort. I once thought some pain was normal and it wasn't. Always consult your doctor for any new symptom, big or small.

Third trimester usually starts around 28 weeks. This is a time when the baby grows rapidly, so focus on nutrient-dense foods, especially good proteins and iron-rich vegetarian options. Hydration is key too, especially with more discomfort starting.

It's around 7 months, so about 28 weeks. The baby gets big and strong in this time. Take good rest and eat your dal roti. Everything will be fine.
