hungry hungry pregnant lady

Do you guys have any tricks for feeling satisfied? Seems like I eat and 2 hours later I'm starving again. And nothing sticks for very long.

I don't really want to eat all the time and yet it seems like I have to!

That sounds about right. I have to eat about every 2 hours. I just suggest that at every snack, you include a little protein and a carb/fruit, like cheese & crackers, apples and peanut butter, handful of almonds and dried apricots, hard-boiled egg and slice of toast, veggies and hummus. Just keep enough snacks on hand so that you're not frustrated b/c you can't find something to satisfy you temporarily.

cheese and crackers are my bff.

I can't really help you.  But just thought I'd make you feel better.  I'm only 4w4d and my husband just nicely pointed out the fact that I've been out-eating him the last 3 or 4 days.  Hmm...makes me feel great!

Try to add foods high in fiber - whole wheat toast w/ peanut butter or a bowl of cereal with milk.  Almonds, crackers and cheese, and oatmeal are also really good choices.  Also drink lots of water between meals.

I'm having the same problem! I am constantly starving, only to eat 2 bites and be stuffed. And when I'm hungry absolutely nothing sounds good. Even some of my favorite go-to's make me sick thinking about them. It seems that the only thing that sounds good is garlic bread. I need to find something else pronto because this bloat is ridiculous!

Try adding fiber and protein to each meal, but the increased hunger is totally normal. I have to eat every 3 hours. Bad things happen when I don't... my LO and I came to an understanding about this a while ago. She won. LOL. I snack on the individual servings of cheese and yogurt.
