Increased Appetite
Gestational timeline: 1st Trimester & 2nd Trimester
Overview
It's common to experience a boost in appetite during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and the increased energy needs of your growing baby. To satisfy cravings and maintain a balanced diet, focus on nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. However, be mindful of portion sizes to prevent excessive weight gain. If you have concerns about your appetite or dietary habits, consult your healthcare provider for guidance. It typically occurs during Weeks 13, 20, 25 (1st Trimester & 2nd Trimester) of pregnancy.
