The trimester system is widely known as the "quarter system" in higher education, while the bimester system is widely known as the "semester system". The semester system was the only one available until the early 20th century, when the University of Chicago pioneered the quarter system, which is seen as somewhat more difficult and demanding.

Is frequent urination or the urge to urinate a sign of weight loss or pregnancy?

This is one sign of pregnancy - do you have any other symptoms? Missed period? Sore breasts? If you are trying to lose weight, you may find you are drinking more water to try and fill up your hungry stomach. This would of course cause you to pee more often! * no soreness in the breasts, not sure about a missed period yet and I just began working out 6 days ago ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frequent urination is one of the most common discomforts during pregnancy. Lots of pressure on the bladder! http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/pregnancy/prenatalhealth/237.html Y-THINK-Y

What affect can drinking alcohol have on a unborn baby in the 3 trimester?

THERE IS DEFINATE RESEARCH AND DATA that shows that drinking during pregnancy puts at risk of having a baby born with F.A.S. (fetal alcohol syndrome). Medium to heavy drinking during a pregnancy can cause damage to a growing fetus; physical deformities: smaller heads, smaller eyes that seemed "webbed" (resembles a child's eyes that has Down syndrome), slower growth and development, thin flat upper lip (no crease), and ALSO things you can't see: possible heart damage, emotional problems; impulse control problems, learning problems, most have some degree of mental retardation....I worked with a young boy with FASand it wasn't easy. He was loveable and pretty smart, but his problems were MANY. AND if the drinking is not severe enough to cause FAS, the baby can be born with a milder case called F.A.E. These children are born without the physical deformities, however they also have problems that are not immediately evident: learning problems and other emotional problems.....IT REALLY ISN'T A GOOD THING TO DRINK ALCOHOL WHILE PREGNANT!! <<>>peaunuts are yucky and you are gay
