Why do I feel hungry easily during late pregnancy?

Many pregnant women have a poor appetite during pregnancy, but in order to take in more nutrients to ensure the normal growth and development of the fetus, pregnant women often have to force themselves to eat more. However, in the later stages of pregnancy, many pregnant women's appetite suddenly improves. So what is the reason for hunger in late pregnancy?

First of all, for most pregnant women, the pregnancy symptoms disappear when they reach the late stage of pregnancy. Pregnant women's poor appetite is closely related to pregnancy reactions. Some pregnant women often vomit after eating because of obvious pregnancy reactions, so their appetite will undoubtedly be very unsatisfactory. In the later stages of pregnancy, the pregnancy reactions of pregnant women will generally become less and less obvious, and their appetite will be very good at this time.

Secondly, a lot of nutrition is needed in the late pregnancy. After entering the late stage of pregnancy, the baby is already relatively mature. The amount of exercise of the fetus in the mother's body also increases, and the nutrition required at this time will be more, so the expectant mother needs to eat more to provide nutrition for the fetus.

In addition, many pregnant women begin to gain weight after entering the late stages of pregnancy. Gaining weight too quickly during pregnancy is not good for the baby's development and the health of the pregnant woman, and will also affect the choice of natural childbirth. Therefore, if pregnant women feel that they have a good appetite, they should pay close attention to their weight changes. If your weight continues to rise, you should control your diet in time to avoid obesity.

The late pregnancy is the peak period of fetal growth and development. Half of the baby's weight grows at this stage, and the function of each organ in the human body will be further improved at this stage. Therefore, the fetus needs a lot of nutrients, and these nutrients are all taken in by the mother's body. The mother also needs more nutrients, so it is easy to feel hungry. In addition, the fetus begins to enter the pelvis in the late pregnancy, and the stomach is no longer squeezed as it is in the middle of pregnancy. This is also one of the reasons why it is easy to feel hungry in the late pregnancy.
