Im exactly the same at the mo'. Before this bump all I'd need in the morning was a few fags and a cuppa. But now I'm eating 2 weetabix and a yougurt. Then fruit about 10 ish, Then a big lunch, then more snacks then a huge tea! I feel like a right pig! Thne at 8 in the evening Im ready for more food. If I dont eat I feel like Im gonna collapse.

From 24 weeks onwards i could eat a lorry load of food everyday, i put on an inch round my waist a week from then on lol

I didnt think los had growth spurts in the womb, thought they put on steady weight throughout - im pretty sure i read they put on half lb a week from 30ish weeks onwards (might b later)

All ur food will b getting used as extra energy & all the stuff needed to keep u & lo happy so as long as ur eating healthy u'll b fine. My problem was lasagne & anything dairy was all i ate
