1st tri to 2nd tri question...

I have two different websites telling me different answers... When does the 2nd trimester start? i

Is it the 1st day of the 12th week, or the 1st day of the 13th week? 

Yes, I know.. there are dumb questions.

Thanks... and telling ppl after the 12th week is okay b/c after 12 weeks, the chances of a MC decrease signifigantly, right?

Yes, from what I've read most recommend waiting until the 12 week mark although TBH I'm not waiting that long because I know I can't LOL.  But I am waiting until after my first appointment at 8 weeks.

I feel your pain... I have told SO many people but kept it from most of the family. So many are suspicious b/c I keep dropping stupid hints on FB.. things I don't think are obvious, but are obviously obvious. Dumb.  I'm breaking the news on Thanksgiving. The US or doppler, or whatever, are tomorrow, and my darn stomach is too big to hide anymore!  I LOOK LIKE A BLIMP! I'm an ass girl, and gain all my weight in the back, but now I have a stomach that pertrudes so much that I can't button my fat girl pants, but the legs and ass are baggy. 

Not complaining though... I kinda enjoy being pregnant :-)

It's going to be hard to hide it at Thanksgiving because I'm a wine girl and I've always got a glass of wine in my hand at the holidays around my family so I know they will think something is up but I'm going to try to play it off LOL.  I feel ok telling people before the 12 week mark because I haven't had a loss before and I guess the way I see it is if I were to have a loss my family would still end up finding out because of how upset I would be, I'm not good at hiding my emotions LOL.

i felt the same way... I knew I would go to the ppl I told if I had a loss....

suggestion for wine... Bring a bottle of grape juice, hide it somewhere in the BR, put a little bit of red wine in ur glass, go the aNr, dump it, and pour the grape juice in the glass. Works wonders :-)

My doc said 12 weeks, that's exactly 3 months. I have no idea why there is conflicting information here, very confusing!
