	Trimester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the second trimester the embryo, now known as a fetus, is recognisable as human in form, but is not developed enough to be viable if born.
		In the third trimester the fetus reaches viability, and may survive if born prematurely.
		The use of modern medical intensive care technology has greatly increased the probability of premature babies living, and has pushed back the boundary of viability to much earlier dates than would be possible without intensive medical assistance.

	Understanding Miscarriage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Another condition that can cause pregnancy losses, particularly in the second trimester, is "incompetent cervix," where the opening between the uterus and vagina, called the cervix, is not strong enough to hold the pregnancy.
		In this situation the patient feels an abnormal amount of pressure, and may either deliver a baby that is too small to survive, or may break her water bag, which quite often (but not always) leads to preterm labor.
		It does not matter how far along the mother was at the time of her loss, and, in fact, many women grieve as much over the loss of a baby in the first trimester as they do for a stillborn baby or a baby that dies many months or years after birth.
