Have u noticed an increase in your appetite this trimester?

Oh my gosh, I'm starving. I mean seriously hungry. All of the time it seems. If I don't eat something everything three hours at the most then I start to feel nauseous for there being no food in my stomach!

I just came downstairs from having a spinach salad, carrots, and a turkey sandwich for lunch...Still hungry...It was a little girl's birthday today. I turned down a cookie before lunch but now I am happily (and guiltily) munching away!

I just can't stop!

Anyone else? When did you notice an increase in appetite??

I have had an increase in appetite, but it is slowly dying down. I would eat and then be hungry minutes later. The increase started around 31 weeks for me.

In the last couple of weeks... and its killing me! I get very moody when I'm hungry, lol.

Same here! I can't stop eating. I will eat a nice size dinner at night. About ten minutes later I am wanting the dessert. Then about an hour later a popsicle, then maybe a banana. haha.....I have to stack up on more fruit and jello for snacks.

I had a pretty big increase in the beginning, but now it's really died down. I find myself forcing food down on some days. I actually haven't gained any weight in the past 5 weeks or so. At first I think the decrease in appetite came from the fact that LO was still high up and my stomach was just so squished, but now she's definitely dropped and it increased a little, but still is down from what it was.

I have found that I need to eat smaller meals, but more frequently.  Especially as I get closer to D day.

Decreased appetite for me.  I'm sure it's because of my uterus pushing my stomach up.

My appetite was outrageous in 2nd tri, went down in the beginning of 3rd, then around the middle of month 8, became insatiable again.

I noticed an increase in appetite mid 2nd tri...and now in 3rd tri I am ALWAYS hungry!!! I can eat something and an hour later (or even less) I am hungry again. I had a plate of spaghetti and a brownie a while ago...and now I am going to get some more! Lol I have always been a heavy eater but i remained skinny pre preg. Now it all adds to the stomach and to the scale! It doesn't help when people say i'm huge...but at least I know I am going to deliver a healthy baby.

Nope, which is understandable because I think my uterus has banished my stomach.
