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’m the same! My appetite was great in first tri, didn’t have much nausea or vomiting. In my 2nd trimester gynae did tell me to cut back on sugary stuff and carbs, just to ensure bb doesn’t grow too fast so that I can keep to natural birth :) in my week 29 now and I gained 10kg! Did slow down the growth a bit coz I kinda have heart burn now and baby is takin up space, so appetite shrunk naturally 😂 take more protein than carbs! Will make ur feel fuller and satiated :)
