When does first trimester end in pregnancy?

I'm in my tenth week of pregnancy and heard that some symptoms get better after the first trimester. I'm just curious, when exactly does the first trimester officially end?

The first trimester officially ends at the end of week 13 of pregnancy. So, from week 14, you're in the second trimester. That's usually when the morning sickness subsides and you get a bit more energy.

Oh, the first trimester! It's usually the toughest. It ends at the completion of week 13. My wife was so relieved to hit week 14 because that's when her morning sickness finally started to calm down. Hang in there, it gets better after that usually.

The first trimester of pregnancy officially concludes at the end of week 13. So, week 14 marks the start of the second trimester. This transition often brings a welcome reduction in early pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness and fatigue for many expecting mothers.

The first trimester, for many, feels like it goes on forever! But officially, it finishes at week 13. So when you hit week 14, you're in the glorious second trimester, hopefully with less nausea and more energy. Thank god for small mercies, right?
