It's an old term, the 9 month pregnancy (actually 40 weeks) is traditionally divided into 3 month phases.

Wasn't it initially divided into trimesters because the likelhood of miscarriage occuring decreases significantly, after the first trimester? Or, is it just a division of the development of the baby, into three specific stages?
