A member asked:
Why is my appetite increased while pregnant?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Progesterone: Progesterone and several other hormones that are secreted at high levels when you become pregnant are all appetite stimulants. Once pregnant, your body is geared towards storing as much food for the baby and for breastfeeding.
