I'm almost 7 weeks and I'm just eat eat eating! No sickness for me thankfully! X

Yes, had that in the first trimester, then about halfway through the second trimester was eating constantly! Calmed down once I hit about 34 weeks, eating quite normally now (actually probably eating a bit more but due to boredom rather than hunger) at 37 weeks.

I ate all morning in the first 3/4 months. I felt sick if I stopped so I'd start with breakfast and eat til after lunch then quite normal after that!

Conception Grin I had to eat, it was the only thing that kept my MS under control

davidtennantsmistress · 17/04/2011 20:38

I had it from about 15 ish weeks (blame 2 teeth coming out thou and not eating too much) . Since then i've been having just about 2 big meals & day and still wanting more. Blush

initially it was so I could bear the M/S so lots of carbs, but now it' a ranging hunger.

(typically)
7.30 breakfast (cereals & toast.)
10.30 chedders/other snack
12-12.30 HUGE sandwich (a plait with salad & stuff, prob halfway between a 6inch and footlong subway) or a jacket tat with salad (incl cheese)
5-5.30 a meal cooked with DS
about 8.30-9 ish snack of some sort.

will be the size of a house!

almost all the way through as i gave up smoking too so eating out of boredom. have a few weeks till due date and still just feel constantly 'peckish'

I vary greatly in what (if anything) I want to eat. Some days I can't stop eating, others I have to force myself to have 2 meals Confused

14 weeks and my appetite is rubbish - have lost half stone and feeling very finicky about what I will eat.

Pootletrinket · 18/04/2011 10:12

38 weeks for me, must have put on 10lbs in that time!! (first 10 all pregnancy, thank goodness)

Had to force myself to eat for first 3 months then it all changed, eat lots of times during day now and have craved salad and lollies, think if my body says its hungry I should feed it as normally have very small appetite so must be what baby wants. Enjoy!

LDNmummy · 20/04/2011 21:51

candr, exactly the same as me! Have ordered DP to buy ice lollies on the way home tonight as I must have one tonight Grin and I figure the sa;ad is what baby wants as I never craved salad before. Only now at 16 weeks am I geting my full apetite back OP. Just check with your midwife if there are any supplements you need to take so you don't get low on necessary vitamin intake.
