Only about 6 weeks pregnant, but is it normal to want to eat so much & crave so much?! And I just fancied some Dairylea on toast.. and my life... It was incredible! .. wait.. I can eat Dairylea right?!

lol!

Yes its normal and yes dairylea is all good! The first trimester is a killer for needing to eat constantly! It's much better in the second trimester in my opinion (other posters may disagree!). I had hunger like I had never known in the first 10 weeks - I'd have punched my own granny if she got between me and the fridge!

Oh thank god! I got so worried. . I've just eaten 4 slices of bread covered in Dairylea! ? So bad. I should be trying to eat well.. not shoving more food in!

Don't worr , most women at some point binge a litttttlle, i was crap at eating anything in the first 16 weeks.. then i turned the corner and now eat ANYTHING.. and EVERYTHING. I had butter, with toast earlier.. in that order according to DH. In that ratio to... Butttttter. and a little toast , make dairylea sound healthy!( which it is.. right... its calcium.)

I did nothing but eat for the first 10weeks!!!!! Sandwiches, sandwiches and more sandwiches!!! Heartburn seriously kicked in on the 2nd trimester, so I'm glad I was bored of food by then!!

Yes! Haha. SO hungry in the first trimester. Like proper genuine hunger pains topped with the nausea, all I did was eat! Now 29 weeks and eating normally again thank god. Thought I'd never get back to eating just 3 meals a day plus (loads of) snacks. Although I suppose I do have 2 breakfasts still...
