Sudden extreme hunger

[louise182]

I an fast approaching my due date - 39 weeks pg.

Over the last few days i have found myself ridiculously hungry, to the point where a meal will be cooking and i cant wait to eat and start ransacking the cupboards and fridge to tide me over!

Once i have eaten a meal i can munch through a couple of bags of crisps, cake, sweets etc. it takes ages for the hunger to pass!

I have not had an appetite like this before, I'm driving myself mad with it! Is this very sudden huge appetite normal?!

I've had that since early on - now 20 weeks. Hoping I haven't put on too much weight!!

I can't tell you if this is normal, but you are not alone! I'm 34 weeks and have been starving the last few days. Eat my dinner then an hour later i'm eating toast/cereal etc
Maybe it's mother natures way of telling us to build up our reserves as soon we won't have time to eat

Me too! 39+2 and got up during the night to eat bread and biscuits three times last night and lots of juice!

I've had this since week 6 and gained over a stone in first trimester as a result . You're lucky you escaped all this time. At this stage just give in to it!!

I'm at 11 weeks and just getting this - awful!

I remember having this in the first tri - had it a couple of time since. It's this fierce hunger that can't be ignored!

I've had it most of the pregnancy but now at 40+2 it's out of control in the evenings. I'll have a full meal, seconds, snacks after and a huge bowl of cereal close to 10 pm. If I don't I need to get up and have a bowl of cereal in the middle of the night!

Oh dont talk to me about cereal trytoohard- i've been at this lark since the early days, i really must try and break the habit. I too am having double dinners, snacks and cereal pre bed. I'll be a walking tent by 40 weeks at this rate.
