It's driving me a bit mad! I get so panicked if I can't assess suitable food when I NEED it. I'm type one diabetic so I'm wondering if it's a general thing: can't remember it happening with DS even though he's 19 months (terrible memory).

I'd say just eat!! Might be a growth spurt ?

I am 23+3 and suddenly started with this about 10 days ago. Not all the time but when I get it, it seems insatiable! I'm just trying to eat stuff that fills me up although at times there's just a desire eat carbs!

Glad it's not just me OCome! No it's not all the time but when it hits, God does it hit. DH reminded me I used to ge up in the night when pregnant with DS to stuff myself with chocolate Minibix (yum).

Leann - I totally agree!

Worst was night. DH's family were staying. We'd had a pub lunch about 2.30 but by 7 I was ravenous!. I was trying to stuff my face whilst not looking like a piggy in front of them! :)

Eat while you can. My stomach is now so squashed that I'm finding it hard to get enough food in, and the acid reflux is horrendous. I wish I'd eaten more when I could so that I could relax a bit about it now.

Eat!

I had this for about a month when I was pregnant with DS1, I literally couldn't fill myself up.

Suddenly one day it was gone, to be replaced about a week later with the most god-awful heartburn that lasted until the end of my pregnancy.

Eat while you can!
