It's probably a really silly question but some apps & things say it's from 27 weeks but the NHS website says 28?

I'm just a little confused! I'll be 27 weeks on Tuesday and would like to know which trimester I'm in! Confused

Week 28 is when you are 27 - 27+6.

When you are 0 - 0+6 you are in week 1 because there isn't a week 0.

So it is from 27 weeks which is week 28.

In the same way we should have been celebrating the millennium on 31 December 2000 not 31 December 1999! Grin

Yeah its 28 weeks so a week tuesday you will be in your Third Trimester:) ahh your due only a couple days after me too :) I'm 27 weeks on sunday x

It's not a week Tuesday, it's Tuesday!

When the baby is born they are in their first week but are not a week old. 7 days later they are 1 week but in their 2nd week.

So 28th week is when you are 27 weeks.

If you’re 27 weeks on Tuesday, you will start your third trimester on Wednesday (27+1).

Thanks ladies that makes sense! Can I blame it on baby brain? 😂

@MummyBear405 hey yeah we are having a boy :) do you know? X

@Boymummy3 I suspected you might be having a boy from your handle but didn't want to assume! We're having a girl, my husband is so nervous bless him. I think he was so convinced she was a boy that he never considered what it'd be like to have a daughter ... on the other hand he does know all the words to Moana so I think he'll be fine Grin
