Omg girls for the last few days in the evening all I want to do is eat crap, I'm fine during the day then I come home totally shattered and all I want is jelly's and bacon fries

at this rate I'll be a little barrel coming out of the 1st trimester

Thankfully Im not on my own, was starting to worry about myself

, wonder why it is though dh seems to think it's my body craving extra calories and that I should listen to it

Found I had an extreme urge to pig out - especially on carbs, pizza, pasta etc in the first trimester but my apetite eased off now so dont worry and like you say your body is prob craving it

Are you feeling sick at all Mrs Summer? I found on the days when I was most nauseous I craved junk food, I'd be drooling at mcdonalds ads and I hate the place

and wanted crisps when I never ate them before. It eased off once the morning sickness went at around week 15 or 16

Watermelonbelly I feeling queesy nearly 24/7 and if I let myself get hungry at all I get worse so I dont know if thats the case, its sooooo weird its just high calorie stuff, for the 1st 7 weeks it was fruit fruit and more fruit and now I have to force myself to eat 4 pieces of it a day

I've been really bad since I got pregnant but I'm on my feet a lot of the day which probably doesn't help.I'm the same with the fruit Mrs. Summer - Normally I love fruit but I can't even seem to eat as much of that as usual and it was all I wanted at the start. Hopefully once munchkin arrives I'll be back to normal

I think with the sickness your body is craving carbs and sugar for energy and that's all thats in the crappy foods your craving

It won't do you any harm as long as you're not having maccers for breakfast lunch and dinner so don't be too hard on yourselves. Once this stage passed me by I was milling into fruit and veg and actually craving it so I was getting plenty of goodness I'd say you'll be the same

Having serious crisp cravings. Had to run past them in the supermarket yesterday. Keep getting suddenly starving too.
