insatiable appetite??

melp723

Hey ladies!  I've noticed over the past few days that my appetite has skyrocketed!  I just can't seem to get enough to eat.  I've been trying my best to get 'good' calories and lots of protein, but I still feel like I'm hungry all the time.  Does anyone else have this feeling around 23 weeks?

 Up until this point, I haven't really eaten any more than I normally did pre-pg, I've just tried to be smarter about what I eat.  I've only gained 10 lbs so far, but that was at my appt. last week.  I'm a bit scared to look at the scale this morning . 

Thoughts?  Or am I just turning into a food-crazed pregnant woman??  Thanks for listening ladies.

I was absolutely starving from 22 weeks - 24 weeks!  The babies grew a bunch during that time, so I am sure that had something to do with it.

I was starving at that time too. Eat as much as you want but make healthy choices. Don't worry about weight gain unless your doctor has told you something different. Most MOMs aim for 20lbs by 20 weeks. My doctor wanted me to gain 35lbs by 28 weeks. This is the one time in life you don't need to be afraid of weight gain or looking at the scale. Enjoy it while it lasts!

::Raises Hand:: I am so freaking hungry. I am currently shoveling my lunch in while thinking about what I can eat for a snack, which will most likely be in a half an hour:)

Its to the point where I leave food on my nightstand and eat in the middle of the night when I get up to pee. 

I was really sick the first 4.5 months and lost 25 lbs, still down 10 but I think I am going to fix that this week!

I was the same way and I have to say if you plan on BFing get ready for you to feel that way ALL the time. I feel like I am always eating and drinking water. lol

Ugh...I'm still hungry and my twins are over a year old!

YES! I will sit down to eat a full meal and only be able to eat half and be so full. Then in ten minutes I will be starving again. Sometimes I can be full and hungry at the same time. and I also have to keep apple sauce near by for the starving feeling at 2am when I get up to pee.
