A colon polyp is a small clump of cells that forms on the lining of the colon. Most colon polyps are harmless. But over time, some colon polyps can develop into colon cancer, which is often fatal when found in its later stages. Anyone can develop colon polyps. You're at higher risk if you're 50 or older, are overweight or a smoker, or have a personal or family history of colon polyps or colon cancer. Colon polyps often don't cause symptoms.
A pregnancy is divided into trimesters: 1  the first trimester is from week 1 to the end of week 12. 2  the second trimester is from week 13 to the end of week 26. 3  the third trimester is from week 27 to the end of the pregnancy.
There's no official definition, but the trimesters are generally considered to be about three months each. At BabyCenter, you graduate to the second trimester the day you turn 14 weeks pregnant. The third starts the day you turn 28 weeks pregnant. Does pregnancy really last nine months? Of course pregnancy is nine months long, right? Well, not exactly.
