I am now 25 weeks pregnant and feel hungry but not starving and not weak just a little light headed sometimes when i stand up. I am eating say 3 or 4 times a day really small meals. but feel sick because of mucaus in the back of my throat (have allergies,sinas prpblems etc) am taking herbs for these problems. I am also drinking peppermint tea to settle my stomach and make me feel hungry or like eating. I was eating like maybe 6 times a day at first and around 16 weeks when the placenta took over feeding the baby i started eating like maybe 3 or 4 times a day including fruite. Any advice. i am also taking herbs for appetite but feel hungry just not starving. Oh i have lost like 4 lb. First i put on 9 lb and then lost. A midwife said this is perfectly normal but i usually put on like 2 or 3 stone during pregnancy. Maybe i am just eating very healthilly. What makes you feel more hungry?

When I'm more active I get hungrier. Don't worry about losing weight as long as the baby is still getting the nutrition it needs and is growing at a normal weight. If you're concerned about it, try eating more nutritious calorie dense foods. Fruit is a good one and also starchy veggies. And be sure you get enough protein every day.

I would be careful of all the herbs you are taking, and if you are worried about not eating enough, or not gaining enough weight drink whole milk. That is what my mid-wife had told me to do when I wasnt gaining enough weight.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
