10 weeks and two very positive scans so far. I am not sick at all. Slight nausea when I am really hungry but that's about it.

However, I just want to eat eat eat. I feel like a bottemless PIT!!!!
The only things I am 'off' is pasta and coffee but everything else is fair game .

I bought some healthy snacks but I am gravitating towards rubbish and carbs . All the carbs.

Has anyone else felt this way?
I feel bad on baby who is probably sick of crisp sandwiches and crumpets 😂

Yeah all I could eat was carbs. Try chucking a few portions of fruit and veg in where you can (might be easier in a few weeks), and get some exercise (even just walking) most days. But don’t feel guilty for being hungry.

In my first trimester I ate so much! Not necessarily junk, but huge portions with loads of snacks in between. After I announced my pregnancy a few work colleagues commented that they'd noticed that my usual salad or sandwich for lunch had been traded in for huge plates of cottage pie or the like!

After about 13 weeks my appetite has been a bit interchangeable. I have periods where I'm not too bothered about food or feel very full after smaller meals, and other periods where I'm constantly snacking. I'm currently just wanting to eat tea and toast, so I'm getting through a lot of decaf tea and toast (on top of normal healthy meals full of veggies)

Just go with it. Try to pick a healthier option if you can, buy don't beat yourself up if you find yourself in the McDonald's drive through yet again!

Im 24 weeks now. Have been craving carbs right the way through so far! Definitely gaining more weight than in previous pregnancies though....probably need to curb it but I'm just sooooo HUNGRY!
