Extreme hunger

Since 20ish weeks I've been absolutely ravenous. So so hungry. I am very tired so I'm thinking the tiredness is making me even hungrier. I'm managing to stay active and walk 2-3 miles a day and always out and about/active with my toddler.
Slightly concerned I've gained 2 stone already at 25 weeks.
I'm eating good meals, plenty of protein, fruit , veg etc. probably too many puddings I've got to admit 😅. So need to work on reducing the calories I think so my weight doesn't go up too much.
I was a normal healthy weight before pregnancy.
I gained 3 stone in my first pregnancy and lost it all and a further 2 stone in a year due to breast feeding. Slightly anxious I won't follow to same pattern this time 😅.
Anyone else similar? Any tips? Tell myself I'll do better each day and start off well but then end up eating too much.

I was the same for weeks of my pregnancy!! I remember we went out for dinner one night and I had a full garlic bread, a lasagne, a pizza, a brownie and then was still not satisfied so on the way home went through the McDonald’s drive thru and got 2 McFlurry’s😂 I’m now 5 months postpartum, back below my pre-pregnancy weight and couldn’t dream of eating that much without bursting! Enjoy it while it lasts! X
