Starving all the time!!! Normal? Boredom?

[Ls271082]

I'm 37+4 and am absolutely starving all the time - I could eat and eat nd eat. I've put on 2 stone 3lbs so far and having a section next week so nt much longer to go but I feel like an absolute Heffer :( really getting me down. I'm trying hard to eat 'normally' but I'm so hungry. So far today

Breakfast - 2 weetabix and skimmed milk
Snack - alpen light bar
Lunch - half ham sandwich, crisp, apple
Snack - bag of snack a jacks

Planned

Dinner - pizza
Snack - frozen yoghurt

But prob will end up devouring choc etc I'm 9pm.

Is th normal at this stge of preg? Am I eating too much/little? Am I just bored?!!

What do u think?? Xx

I'm not sure as I'm only five weeks and previous pregnancy hadn't gotten that far, but I think what you describe is a normal amount of food pregnant or otherwise - I am 5 foot 5 and around nine stone so not overweight or underweight. I'd only say that there doesn't seem to be much fruit and veg there, but that isn't what you've asked... hopefully this will bump and someone more experienced will know!

Yeah, right there with you. I'm 21 weeks and eating like a fiend. I'm normally so good but I can't seem to fight it since I'm starving all the time.

hi Ls271082 this is perfectly normal im 31+2 heres what i eat today

breakfast - none not a breakkie person never have been lol

lunch time some french stick with cheese filling & a packet of crisp

tea more french stick but ham inside this time fancied it lol followed buy another bag of crisp and a slice of cake that i made

i think we all have diff appetites tbh ive had pretty much the same eating habbit all way through this pregnancy im expecting a boy this time but when i was expecting my daughters 2 diff pregnancys i eat eat and eat

I STUFFED my face during the last six weeks of pregnancy. Hunger, boredom, the sense that I deserved to enjoy eating what I wanted, considering I couldn't do anything else I wanted to do! Ate much more than you. I have put on more than I should have done during pregnancy, but had LO two weeks ago and am already down nearly a stone and a half, and don't have the urge to eat anything like as much now, so feeling quite positive at the mo.

Eat the chocolate, I say!

I dont think that sounds a lot compared to what I've been eating Im 37 weeks and this week I've been ravenous. Maybe body is stocking up energy. Today: breakfast - bowl of cheerios, banana (but often 1 or 2 toasts too) lunch- cheese and jalapenos sandwich (craving) crisps, snack - slice of melon, kiwi, choc biccy, dinner- pork chop on pasta, shape yog. I quite often eat more cereal or a bit of cake about 9pm. If you're hungry I say eat as you're building a person it takes fuel. It's just up to you what you eat, I'm trying to get fruit instead of too much choc (but it's so hard!)
