Evening!

Im so so so hungry all of the time and I'm worried it's getting a bit out of hand

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and wasn't nearly this hungry with my last pregnancy, which produced a big baby. Will I have an absolute whopper this time due to allllllllllll the bread, porridge and cheese? I crave lots of protein food too like eggs and yogurt but no matter what/how much I eat I'm hungry an hour later

I eat a few pieces of fruit a day and usually have a salad (not a MN salad though ;) ) or vegetables with my main meal so it's not all beige crap.

Normal weight/BMI at my booking appointment, I daren't weigh myself now. I do struggle with my pregnancy body and how much it changes/gets so big but happy to make that sacrifice to have a healthy baby.

Any advice? The constant hunger is getting me down and I'm so conflicted all the time

...maybe I have worms?

I have been hungry ALL THE TIME this whole pregnancy (now 36 weeks). At the beginning my OH kept saying there must be more than one of them in there! I’ve also been having growth scans every two weeks - baby is on the 25th centile so not a big baby by any means. I’d say if you are hungry, you should eat especially since it sounds like you are eating reasonably healthily.

I took the same view as you in that if I have to lose weight after baby arrives so be it but for just now just going with what my body/ baby seems to need.

Second pregnancy here, at 25weeks. I'm always always hungry, and was the same last time. I need about 3 breakfasts each day and want crisps constantly! Last time ai used to race home and boil an egg as an urgent filling snack as soon as I got home 🤣 Our son came 9 days early and was 6lb12oz, so eating all the things does not mean you'll have a babygiant. So far current babe's measurements are almost exactly the same as no1 was at the same dates.
