Here's the article that made me feel very strongly about 3rd trimester abortions(long). I know several moms that dealt with chromosome defects, all discovered weeks AFTER repeating the 2nd level sonogram (which puts you into the 3rd trimester). Some chose to abort; others choose to continue the pregnancy to either a stillbirth OR having the baby live for a few months. In one case, I know a guy whose son had his organs outside of his body. The child lived for a year while they underwent surgery after surgery. Hope was always a huge factor.:
An amnio is done at 16-20 weeks. So you are well into your 2nd trimester when you elect for one.
At 20 weeks, you get your 2nd level. If they don't get a "clear picture", they redo them until they finally get a clear enough picture of what is missing. By the time you find it out, you are about 24-25 weeks. You can opt for an amnio, which takes about 10-14 days to confirm chromsome issues.
That brings you to the cusp of your 3rd trimester, and giving you days to decide to abort or not.
This was us verbatim..at 24 weeks DD had shown considerable growth so we elected not to do an amnio but had she not we would have made the decision then.
Side note: Late term abortions are a money making business. I did a paper on this topic my Sr. year of college and alot of people would be surprised to know that the fetal tissue of later term abortions are valuable for research. Its the dirty secret.

1st trimester unless the situation becomes life threatening for the mother or early 2nd trimester for fetal diagnosis "not compatible with life"
