I'm Currently Feeling: | does anybody else feel constantly hungry?? i don't know what is going on, but i constantly feel hungry, i can eat and be hungry again straight after, and if i don't eat more it makes me shakey.
I try and fill up on vegetables and fruit, but that obviously isn't good enough because i still get shakey and have to eat something starchy to feel better.
I'm really worried about the amount I am eating and I am going to end up putting on huge amounts of weight if it doesn't stop. But my body just can't function if i don't eat. I know my body so well and have never felt like this before and its only been for the last few days, its worrying me??? xx | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Maybe you have hypoglycemia? Although I remember being hungry ALL THE TIME from 25 weeks to about 32 weeks, whatever I would eat, I would still be starving half an hour after. I did put on quite a lot of weight, but that was because I was eating cake, pie + fastfood...
I never felt dizzie or weak though. Maybe talk to your midwife/doctor about it!
Hope you get better  | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm the oposite. I can't eat as much as I expected to want to eat. If that makes sense. I thought I'd be eating abit more than I did pre-pregnancy but at this stage I'm pretty much just feeling like "I'll eat because I have to not because I want to or feel like it."
If you don't feel right see a doctor!  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hm well I kind of feel like that, I eat until I'm full but then need to eat again right after! (Of course I can't fit all this food in my belly at once right0 it's inconvenient but just one of the blessings of pregnancy I'm guessing.  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | i've just suddenly started feeling very very hungry and eating loads. if i don't i dont end up feeling faint like you do though. although, i do hit a low patch in the morning about half ten and in the afternoon about half three, where if i don't eat something i feel like i'm gonna pass out. it comes on dead fast... i have to carry emergency rations! id ask midwife about it.
