39 weeks and really hungry.

Hi all,
I'm now 39 weeks and in the past week I've been really hungry. I eat and then feel like eating again an hour later. Almost like the first trimester. If I don't eat I feel sick, tired, grumpy and dizzy.

I've put on about 15kgs this pregnancy. The gestational diabetes test I did weeks ago came back negative. I thought I was supposed to be losing my appetite round about now. Any thoughts? I'm seeing my OB tomorrow so will ask him too

Maybe bubs has dropped and you have more room in your stomach for food now :dunno:

I was SO hungry just before I went into full active labour!

Hey - you're 39 weeks - if you're hungry, then eat! Your body is saying it needs feeding.

Oh I am eating, and it gives me heart burn but better than feeling sick and tired.
Just thought it was weird as I've heard lots of people lose their appetite as they hit the final weeks.
thanks for your replies.

I agree with Nai... maybe bubs is actually giving your tummy some room now! lol
