Can't stop eating!!

I am 15+5 and seem to have an insatiable appetite!! Just checked my notes and at my booking appt at 8 weeks I was 9 stone 10 and now I'm 10 stone 3. I am also 6 feet tall and the midwife worked out my Bmi as 18.5 so I reckon I am within the 'normal' range now... Anyone else need a nose bag for constant munching?!?!

I was the same when pregnant. Actually tbf I've always been a gannet had a healthy appetite but when I was pregnant it was ridiculous. And I wasn't eating for the sake of it - I just seemed to be always genuinely ravenous.

The amount I could put away used to leave people open mouthed but I stress - I was STARVING.

I feel hungry all the time but its made worse because of the sickness. Ive just finished scoffing my tea and im already pondering what to eat next ??

Op, i wouldnt worry about it,at 6 foot and 10,3 you are still officially under the acceptable healthy bmi (i know because im 5,11 and when i went down to that once i was underweight). Your body must be needing the extra nourishment as you must have been very slim before getting pg. Enjoy it for what it is :-)

That's the angle I'm taking. Nose bag at the ready...what's fir breakfast? ;)
