34 weeks and constantly hungry

[bunni84]

is this normal?! all i want to do is constantly eat now..
could it be boredom as i finished work on friday so im now on maternity leave?

worried how its affecting baby if every other hour im eating..my blood sugars seem fine but could higher sugars every few hours affect baby? i have GD.

had growth scan at 33 weeks and baby was 4lbs 8 so good growth.

anyone on maternity leave yet and just constantly wanting to eat?! Also how are you keeping yourselves entertained during maternity leave? i'm currently catching up on missed tv episodes and daily walks. guess its a good time to pack the hospital bag now?

I lost my job on Christmas Eve and haven't been able to find another one since. I don't find I eat much during the day, but I've never really been one to pick at food and not a fan of crisps/biscuits etc. I've redecorated most the house, had a huge blitz and got rid of all the stuff we didn't need, selling it on eBay/carboots, rearranged pretty much every room, and just started tackling the garden. I've read quite a lot of books, and go for at least an hours walk every day to keep active. Hospital bag still isn't packed!! All baby's clothes are washed and ironed and ready for her arrival, and baked a lot of stuff that the oh takes into work as we don't really eat it, but I enjoy baking!!

I am still in work for another 4 weeks but for the last 10 days or so I have woken up absolutely starving and all day all I want to do is eat. I've been pretty lucky so far and haven't gained much weight but worried now it will pile on if I don't stop eating :/ haha

I'm very jeleous! I wish I could eat all the time, I have a sandwich for lunch and feel like I've eaten a Chinese banquet! The full feeling does not go either so can only have a small amount for tea
