Is increased appetite a sign of pregnancy?

I've noticed I'm constantly hungry lately, much more than usual. I'm wondering if this could be a sign of pregnancy. Does increased appetite generally point towards being pregnant?

I literally just went through this last month! I was feeling hungry every second hour and then got my positive test. It's definitely a common sign, so go ahead and do a quick home test.

Haan beti, jab naya jeev pet mein aata hai toh bhook badhna bilkul aam baat hai. Apne khane peene ka dhyan rakho aur ghee-doodh achhe se lo.

I am also feeling unusually hungry these days but my periods are still a few days away. Does this hunger symptom usually start before a missed period or only after that?

While hunger is a typical pregnancy sign, it's also important to monitor your salt intake and blood pressure as your diet changes. Regular checkups at the clinic will keep both mom and baby healthy.

During my time, I ate for two and everyone said it's normal. Hormones can really make you a food monster! Just keep some healthy snacks nearby, otherwise you'll gain all the weight in the first month itself.

Yes, it can absolutely be a sign! Your body is working hard to build a supportive environment, which takes a lot of energy. Just eat small, nutritious meals and check with a card if your period is late.
