When I was PG with Jacob, I basically tried to pay attention to what my body was telling me, so if I was hungry, I ate!! There is such a demand on your body when you are PG and you need to nourish yourself and your little one properly.

My appetite would come and go a lot - sometimes I really wouldn't feel like eating much at all and would have to remind myself to eat, other days I would be ravenous, and then later in my PG, I was feeling really full after only a few mouthfuls of food! Also, every morning between 5 - 7 am, I would wake up feeling really hungry, and would HAVE to eat something or else I couldn't get back to sleep. For me, having a tub of yoghurt was the best thing as it kept the hunger at bay.....I would be scoffing it down by the light of the fridge door LOL!! I think definitely having adequate protein in your diet helps too, as when I had those 'hungry' days for days on end, I began to really dislike the hungry feeling, so eating protein was a good way to help that.

I gained 17.5kg when PG, and what wasn't baby, was practically all fluid!! I was worried that I was putting on too much weight etc, but I puffed up like a balloon and within a matter of weeks after he was born, I'd lost heaps of weight.

It sounds like you aren't eating the wrong foods, which is the main thing. You are eating fruit and vegies and having calcium etc, which is really important.
