Just wondering what everyone's eating habits are in the 2nd trimester? Normal, more or less than usual. My appetite goes in swings and roundabouts!

Whatever I fancy as I'm still being sick every day so whatever I think might stay down!
Sometimes loads and sometimes hardly anything.

I would say normal with added cravings! So mostly fine and usual amount but today I also had two glasses of coke Hmm large glasses and I don't usually like coke! And I had chocolate the other day. I am 17 weeks and vaguely trying not to comsume too much.

Depends on how sick I feel but new potatoes and a bit of butter is always good right now.
oh and tomato soup.

I'm almost 18 weeks & eating more than usual to fend off dizziness from low blood pressure. I do like a snack between meals normally, but currently finding I need them! Making the most of it before bump gets bigger & I can't fit much food in.

Oops I meant almost 17 weeks, is baby brain a viable excuse?!

I'm 21 weeks and just normal I guess although trying to be as healthy as I can. I've not had any cravings or food aversions at all in this pregnancy even when I had nausea in first trimester. I have noticed that I can't eat the quantity of food I used to, not sure if things are weighing down on my stomach now!

I ate a lot in the second trimester! Had on and off phases of eating normally/eating loads that lasted a few days each. Think they may have been baby growth spurts or me being a piggy . But now 34 weeks and although I get really ravenously hungry I can't eat that much at all before I'm full. Squished stomach!

17 weeks and generally have a good diet in regards to getting lots of healthy fruit and veg, protein etc.

However I have developed a bit of a sweet tooth which I never used to have so I am giving into temptation there a bit!
