To ask how you managed the constant hunger in pregnancy?

[PollyHasAPocket]

I'm currently half way through my 2nd trimester and I am so hungry all of the time. It's really getting me down because I can tell the weight is piling on.

Just not eating isn't really an option as I can end up being sick if I don't and feeling faint.

I've been trying to eat fruit etc... But what I really want is something stodgey, I've been craving potatoes a lot!

I knew I'd be hungrier, I knew I'd eat more but this is constant, I could easily have two meals by 11am most days, did anyone else have this? I can wake up at 3am and need to eat immediately. I had ravioli at 5am the other day!

Hi OP,

I'm 33 weeks now and was definitely hungrier during the second trimester.

Are you keeping active to counteract the extra food? I've made sure to do at least 30 min, usually an hour, of exercise every day throughout - brisk walking, yoga or swimming - and it's definitely helped me to not pile weight on.

I just ate, as I was so sick if I didn't. I did put a fair amount of weight on, but lost it after my second pregnancy (13 month gap).
