Eating for England

[Baloo1972]

I am 8 weeks pregnant and I feel hungry a lot of the time. I am eating for England. Not snacks like chocolate but proper food like fruit n toast. My partner says I am just fat n greedy and it's not the baby. Is this true.

This is normal! I was exactly the same and so were a lot of people I know. It's not just you being greedy!
And it's good that it's "proper" food that you're wanting rather than junk food. This didn't last for me, after I got to about 14 weeks I found my appetite a bit more normal, no longer starving all the time, but unfortunately now I have just got stuck in the habit of eating tons!

We do have to be a little bit careful not to put on too much weight but if you were a healthy weight to start with I wouldn't worry too much. Keep eating healthily and a get bit of exercise, and enjoy your food!

Yeah snap I was terrible around week 8 and thankfully my appetite tailed back to normal at around 12 weeks or so! Around 8-12 weeks I just couldn't stop eating though!

Me too. I'm craving fruit and cheese and I've nearly put back the stone I lost due to nausea in the first weeks.
I hope your partner said it as a joke. If not, I find it worrying.

Me too! I was ravenous all the time for about the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. I was scoffing crisps mainly but wasnt too fussy and consumed lots of chocolate, toast, cereal, fruit, etc. I found it helped to get rid of the feelings of sickness.
Im now 19 weeks and it has calmed down a little bit but I am eating more than usual still.
I think its normal - although you dont need to 'eat for 2' as such, you are making a baby!!

With DC1 I was hungry all the time, but mainly wanted fruit and veg. I did put on loads of weight but at least I was eating loads of healthy food.
