Do you ever get out of bed because you're hungry?

Tamara Stumph

I just had to because my stomach was growling. I feel bad when I get a hunger sensation so I automatically go into take-care-of-the-baby mode and eat something to hold me over. Do you ever get out of bed during the night because you need to eat? It doesn't happen very often for me. I usually get up because I have to pee so bad it hurts.

I sometimes had to do that during the 1st tri...when I'd already got up to pee anyways and realized I was hungry.

I have a few times of times.  In fact, I just got back in bed after eating PB&J on a tortilla.  It kills me eating after 8pm but I suck it up for the sake of the baby.  I'm not going to ignore tummy rumbles during pregnancy because I almost never got them pre-pregnancy and figure that my body is talking to me for a reason.

Yes. This happens every once in a while. I try to drink a glass of milk before I go to bed to prevent this from happening. Otherwise, i feel like I could eat all day long..such a change from a few weeks ago.

Just three days ago I started getting so hungry every few hours.  I just ate some ice cream and now I am hungry again!  I do feel hungry during the night sometimes but I don't go eat.  I just eat something ASAP in the morning.  Weird how a few days changes things!

Not me -- I'm usually more tired than hungry. If I do wake up hungry in the morning, I won't stay in bed and read for a while like I normally do.

I wake up hungry all the time...I try to eat something small and drink a glass of water.

I woke up to go to the bathroom at 5:30 and voila--stomach growls and now i'm downstairs having cereal and milk to hold over the hunger! Hope i can get back to sleep!?

I've had two week-long periods where I needed to eat every few hours, including the middle of the night.  The hunger pains would just NOT go away.  One was at 12ish weeks, and one was around 19 weeks.  They went away though and my appetite is back to normal again

This is me every single morning.  5:30am... starving!

Haha!  I usually get out of bed because I have to pee, but have been known to grab a little snack on my way back to bed!  Not every time, but definitely once in awhile.  I had never done this pre-pregnancy!

I have a few times, especially in the first tri.  But I think it was because I eat dinner so early.  I've been eating more snacks during the day and dinner a little later, so I think that's why I haven't been so hungry at night.  But I am starving in the am!

The last few weeks I have been waking up just ravenous, its a big change for me because pre preg, i couldn't even look at food in the morning.....

A lot in 1st tri, and yesterday morning the dog woke me up at 5:50 and I was SOOOOO hungry I had to eat.

cchill01

Yep.  I usually don't eat bfast until 8am, but lately I've had to eat something at 5:30 when I get up.  Sometimes I can't even shower first.  I don't need to eat much, just something.

If I sleep any later than normal work time, I have to get up and eat. I was hoping to get to sleep in this summer (I'm a teacher) seeing that it will be my last baby-free summer. This morning I was up at 6. I'm already on my second breakfast at 11

I've had two 3am snack wake ups in the last week. I wake up and feel hungry and try to go back to sleep for half an hour and can't.

It's strange. I've never experience middle of the night hunger like this. Even when I was a full-time athlete doing three workouts a day!

jenm1999

Yep, almost every night between 2 and 3 am.  Because of my medical history I cannot eat a lot at any one sitting my ob wants me eating almost constantly. I figure if i wake up hungry i should eat something.  Yogurt or banana's are two favorites of mine in the middle of the night.
