Appetite too good

Currently 11weeks. I’ve been reading so many posts about moms not having appetite in their first trimester, vomiting and even losing weight because they can’t eat much. I’m on the total opposite end of the spectrum. I crave carbs like pasta ramen ban mian pizza, and I am very into greasy foods like mala and breads dipped in olive oil. In fact my appetite has greatly increased from pre-pregnancy. This is madness because I don’t feel satiated even after a large meal (but I do feel full). Anyone else having mad appetite like you can keep eating large meals and keep everything in? I haven’t had much morning sickness (nausea, but slight and goes away when I exercise or start eating) and no vomiting so far. Am actually feeling stressed out because 1. weight gain could be atrocious at this rate (I end up doing daily 45min to 1h cardio from this fear), 2. worried abt eventually getting gestational diabetes from this massive carb intake.

i was the same as you mummy. everyone else i knew was vomiting but i was craving the unhealthiest kinds of food, esp high fat and oily. it’s not your fault, it’s how the hormones have affected you. don’t stress now because your appetite and weight gain will regulate as you approach second trimester. i was the same as you but no GD. unnecessary stress has adverse effects on pregnancy, don’t worry too much at this point about things that havent/may not happen! there’s time for your appetite might go back to normal :)
