eating non stop at 31 weeks

[jillamona]

does anyone have any will power with food in the last trimester? i've been eating loads nearly the whole way through my pg but have been trying to be healthy and avoid too much sugar and junk. but the last week or 2 i've been constantly hungry and treating myself to cake and chocolate and anything else i feel like really. i haven't put on a crazy amount of weight but am afraid if i go on like this for the next 9 weeks i'll be forever shifting baby weight. or maybe i just shouldn't be worried about that now and just let myself have my treats for the next few weeks. what does anyone think, are we allowed be pigs because we're knocked up? :o

I'm no expert, but I went through a similar stage at 31/32 weeks. I'm now 37+5 and I haven't put on a major amount of weight and all seems to be well. So just a growth spurt I guess? I tried not to eat all junk but I ate piles of healthier food, probably someone should have got me a nosebag!

My bump is sponsored by Cadburys - that's the amount of chocolate I've been eating! It has been completely compulsive between about 28 and 32 weeks. I just needed to eat all the time. Not just chocolate. Anything not nailed down I ate. I tried to eat only healthy food but it just wasn't enough.

But suddenly this week (33) I've calmed down a bit. And I didn't put on vast amounts of weight. I'm hoping that I'll be able to be more sensible from now on. It really felt horrible eating all the time.

I am 31 weeks and also can't stop eating! All day! I am so hungry - please tell me it stops! :)

i hope it stops otherwise i'll be the size of a house have already eaten 2 massive bars of galaxy today and am about to have dinner. am trying to be healthy but can't stop eating chocolate

I was the same about that time for 3 weeks or so. I especially REALLY wanted meat and raw meat better (meaning parma ham etc, not uncooked!). Calmed right down, then started wanting to graze little and often in the last couple of days (38 weeks today).
