Can't satisfy my appetite

[justhayley]

Hiya I'm 36+4 and in the last few days iv been pretty much hungry 24/7.
My appetite has halved during pregnancy but now I'm eating for 10.
Iv heard this happens when labour is on the way - any truth in this?
Iv been really extra healthy the last few days so it's not my body trying to get nutrition but no matter how much or what I eat I need more!
If I would have been like this throughout pregnancy I would have put on about 8 stone lol.

Hello, I'm pleased it's not just me!! I'm 37+5 and just the same over the past week. SO hungry and have also felt relieved that I haven't had this throughout.

OOoh that's interesting that it might be a sign that baby's getting ready for action, eek. What are you eating? I feel like I'm getting through loads of food.

I have just wolfed down a huge plate of pasta and still have room for a triple chocolate sunday thing. I have had an appetite throughout pregnancy but not like that!

I have been dying to ask this! I'm 37 weeks today and my appetite is huge right now! I can't seem to get full! Just scoffed a lovely sausages, mash, carrots, stuffing balls and gravy followed by white chocolate and I want mooree!! If you gave me that few weeks ago half of it would of finished me off!maybe its just a round this stage kinda thing? Or that labour is imminent...hope so! ! I actually heard it was to do with labour too...
