Hi, yep mine has. In the first trimester i found it hard to keep food down. In the past week i just wanna eat everything in sight

I woke up this morning starving for doughnuts. Not that ive had one, but really want one

I always want to eat food like mash potatoes lately and doughnuts mmmmm

Goig mad for carbs, putting too much weight on (8lbs when I hsould have put on about 4). Eating lots, loving it. Every time I read a post that mentions food, I immediately want it!

I'm like a bottomless pit I assure you, I've only put on 2lb's though

Mine is crisps and toast for some reason

Some days I cannot get enough food, some days I don't want anything.
But of course, at 26 weeks, my meals have gotten a lot smaller because my stomach can no longer handle what I used to eat.

Hubby always said I ate more than he did... which I know I did.
But now, it's the opposite.

My addiction: Egg noodles, butter, salt/pepper and tuna!!!
Oh so good... sometimes I'll even through in a can of stewed tomatoes.
