I'm 14 weeks almost and I think mines coming up for one. I'm getting a lot more stretching and growing pains down around my pelvis and i'm tired all the time!!! I can't stop yawning and each yawn last so long I look like I'm just sat with my mouth open waiting for someone to feed me lol

He would always go quite for a few days and I would eat non stop for a few days. I didnt show till 3rd trimster but now its the same as above, plus major stretch feeling in my belly. My stomach will get very tight and heavy feeling, and painful stretching skin feeling and the next day i'll be bigger and feeling better lol

Yeah I've had my bump appear from nowhere, I think I'm about to get bigger again. Last time my sickness stopped for a week and I ate loads then bam bump. Now I haven't been sick since Monday morning and I'm so hungry, just want to eat everything I see and all I think about is food. It just pops into my head. I was sat at my desk this morning when BAM "I want pancakes. I really want some pancakes. With sugar and lemon. OMG I WANT PANCAKES" Unfortunately I'm at work and can't make pancakes but the frying pan is going straight on when I get home lol. Sod a normal dinner we can have pancakes instead lol (or at least I can)

I suddenly need to eat almost 24 hours a day & get tired really quickly (at least that is what I have been assuming it is)

At ~18 weeks I went through 3 days of ravenous hunger, eating everything in sight, and needing to sleep 12-14 hours a day. Was a little worried it was gestational diabetes kicking in, but it cleared up right away - the day after it ended I barely ate at all! I suspect it was a growth spurt, just like other ladies here are describing, but I didn't notice any bump change.
