Could be a sign, I always got hungry before my labours. But, be carefull on the cheese, at least for me causes lots of gas, and my 1st baby every time I pushed, loads of gas came out with it even thopugh me and oh were laughing ourselves silly, I was quite embarrassed.

Do you have any other signs? Other then being due already

Oh, I meant to ask you in another post a while back, what did you quit 6 weeks ago?

Sounds like you need to fit some more protein in there. It will help grow the babies as well as keep you full longer..But, sometimes, yeah...that could be a sign!

I went in to labour on the Monday, had her on the Wendesday. I didn't eat anything from the Saturday. I just couldn't stomach it.

The moment she was born tho, I was STARVING. My stomach was rejoicing with all the space it had!! You better believe I was sitting there eating a beef sandwich whilst the Dr was down there stitching me up

its completely normal i always felt very hungry before labour. before my 2nd child was born i ate even during labour and stopped eating just before i was told i was ready to push. it was just very funny

Sounds like a good sign. Another sign (sorry if it sounds icky) is that you clear your bowels if you know what i mean................. Good luck! x

could be a sign for some. but for me with all my four babies I went off my food 48 hours before. like..... really really off my food. I just couldn't stomach anything and even toast tasted like cardboard. think it's natures way keeping every exit clear! lol. x
