People don't say they're pregnant until the second trimester. I intellectually understand that you don't want the whole world to know your business, but at the same time, what does that mean? You don't tell your employers you're pregnant, but then when you miscarry, no one knows you miscarried. Miscarrying is a horrible, painful event.

American Actress

Marisa Miller

My first trimester I was so exhausted. I could sleep 10 hours, then wake up, look in the mirror and still have eyes like a hound dog! I felt like the life was sucked out of me, no matter how much sleep I got. It was obvious that my body was really busy doing something else and 'beauty sleep' didn't exist anymore!

American Model

Charlie Brooker

Ever since about 1998, when humankind began fast-forwarding through the gradually-unfolding history of progress, like someone impatiently zipping through a YouTube clip in search of the best bits, we've grown accustomed to machines veering from essential to obsolete in the blink of a trimester.

English Critic

Peter Singer

There's a difference between early and late abortions. If you have a late abortion, where the fetus might feel pain, then I think you should have a good reason. Because then you're inflicting pain. As you go through the third trimester, you need to have more serious reasons to end a pregnancy.

Australian Philosopher

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Remember that before 'Roe v. Wade' was decided, there were four states that allowed abortion in the first trimester if that's what the woman sought: New York, Hawaii, California, Alaska. Other states were shifting. And people were fighting over this issue in state legislatures.

American Judge

Ayelet Waldman

I had a second trimester abortion. I was pregnant with a much-wanted child who was diagnosed with a genetic abnormality. I made a choice to terminate the pregnancy. It was my third pregnancy, and I was very obviously showing. More important, I could feel the baby move.

Israeli Novelist

Anna Silk

When you get pregnant, you start reading pregnancy books. Everything has been pretty textbook. It's amazing how they can say, 'This week, this might happen,' and it kind of does. I had typical nausea the first trimester, which was no fun. And extreme tiredness.

Canadian Actress

Tomi Lahren

After the first trimester, I do think that there is some room for the government to intervene, because at that point, it is an unborn child that could be viable on its own.

American Journalist

Tulsi Kumar

I was not performing or recording in the last trimester of my pregnancy but I was working from home, planning my futures projects.

Malin Akerman

They say that your second trimester is when you get most of your energy and it's the 'easiest' part of the pregnancy.

In business, 'trimester' may refer to financial or reporting periods covering three months.

Business Cycles

Expectant Mother's Health

Each trimester can bring different emotional experiences for expectant parents.

Emotional Journey

 the third trimester is a time for final touches, such as eyelashes and taste buds. With most major development complete, the fetus will gain nearly half a pound a week. To make room for this rapid growth, the mother's internal organs adjust significantly
