Increased appetite

Shannonsperry

I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow with twins, but I'm just now starting to have an appetite.. And I mean I know where the saying "eating for 3" comes from! I didn't have crazy morning sickness just nausea here and there and got sick maybe 4 times... Is it normal to now be getting an increased appetite?

Mine has definitely increased. I don't remember being this hungry with ds but I was very nauseous and vomiting for the first 17. This pregnant is different so my gut says girl. Anyways I don't remember being this hungry at all until I was nursing. Then it was like no signs of hunger to I will devour all food now. It's annoying because I find if I get to hungry I can't eat and start to feel nauseous. I eat frequently to stay on top of it.

Mine hasn't yet but it is normal. Make sure that you eat a lot of protein since it will keep your hunger at bay longer. Remember that you only need about 300 extra calories during pregnancy.

Just one baby, but the appetite set in at 4 weeks, before I even realized!  I've gained 8 pounds already, and I'm 11W6D.  (I was pretty skinny before, and I'm still not fat.)  I tell my husband that baby is a tiny little piggie, usually while stuffing my face for the 8th time that day.  I've never, never in my life been able to eat like this, even when I wanted to gain weight.

For now I'm ok with the weight gain, but I do want to make sure I don't gain too much.  Of course, if I DON'T eat when Baby demands, I get nauseous and dizzy, so I'm just going with the flow for now.  What's really fun is when the nausea and the hunger start playing ping-pong, jumping from one directly to the other, or, better still, both at the same time.
