I'm 13 1/2 weeks pregnant and I have turned into The Ravinator! Sit back and marvel at what I have consumed today...SO (breathes in)

Muesli, yoghurt & fruit for breakfast (so far, so good, I hear you say)
Cheese & almonds at 10 am
Soup, sliced chicken, oatcakes, a family pack of mango, a packet of crisps and a yoghurt, for lunch
More oatcakes
Pasta, chicken, pesto, a whole tub of mozarella, olive oil & parmesan followed by a Magnum ice-cream chaser for dinner

(breathes out)

And it isn't even 7pm. What next? Steak, chips, a bottle of Malbec and a box of After Eights?!!

If you think it's bad now, just wait till your little one is born and (if) you breastfeed. Your list sounds like my breakfast lol. I am constantly hungry and nothing touches the sides, just slides down in double quick time!

So far today I have had cereal, yoghurt and half a battenburg. I have five large cookies in the office kitchen (secretly hoping someone else might eat them or they will go in one sitting with me!!!) I'm 12 weeks and all I think about is food! Somehow I lost 2lbs this week! Must have been the bloating finally subsiding though as the food intake is just going up. I had to get up in the middle of the night to get milk, I know its not food but I just had to have it, 2 pints later I was finally ok to go back to sleep (until I had to get up to wee of course)

I was unfillable for months! I'd eat and eat and be hungry half hour later, real tummy-rumbling desperate hunger. There was a day when I had a massive dominos twice in a row (a whole pizza, whole gourmet garlic bread, and wedges) because I'd sneakily ordered it for myself then DH came home a couple hours later and wanted a takeaway. I've made pasta bakes at 5 in the morning because I wake up and must eat LOADS or I will DIE. Toast didn't cut it. It's wearing off now at 34 weeks because there's simply no room left inside of me! Enjoy it while it lasts
