"Hunger... You are selfish and RUDE!"

Before pregnancy if I was really nauseous, Hunger would usually just naturally take a back seat until I was feeling decent enough to acknowledge its presence. And if I gave it a little snack it would be grateful that I even attempted to feed him at all.

During pregnancy, Hunger could care less if I'm on the verge of gagging! Hunger demands that I figure out a way to choke down some food or it promises to make my nausea worse. And "some" food is only acceptable for about 5 minutes. After that Hunger is wondering why I seem to feel like that little snack was sufficient and again threatens me if I don't choke down more food, all the while not caring how nauseous I am.

I hate being pregnant. I wanna fast forward to that point where they put my baby in my arms and I feel elation and relief! Anybody got a fast forward button?

I know what you mean!  Not only is hunger always fighting nausea, but sleep as well.  I wake up in the middle of the night from hunger pangs.  I try to sleep because I'm SOOOOOO tired, but its no use.  

Hunger is adick.

Oh man Melisa, yes!!! I wake up about 3 times a night and have to munch on mixed nuts in order to get back to sleep! And what's worse, the 2 times I didn't wake up to eat, I was sooo nauseous the next morning! Boo!

I feel the same way. I'm enjoying being pregnant, but I hate that. If I was hungry, I used to be able to ignore it if I was busy, or have a small snack to get by...but now, if I don't have a full meal I get ravenously hungry in a matter of seconds! This morning I felt a little hungry before I got out of bed, so I had a couple of Ritz crackers, but they came right back up! Wtf.

Oh my I'm so glad I'm not the only person who fels this way! I'm so sick of being sick! and of being tired! I havent enjoyed being pregnant at all. If you find that fast forward button or switch, let me know! I'd like to borrow it!

Me me me! This is number two for me and I didn't enjoy it much that time either. The first trimester sucks -- nausea/vomiting, looking "fat," hiding it from people. The second trimester is great -- you feel good, you look cute and the baby starts to move (that you can feel). Then the third trimester hits and it's even worse -- uncomfortable, time slows down, you just get huge, swelling...blech.

I just want the baby to be here.

I can totally relate! What irks me the most about hunger is waking up in the middle of the night starving and not being able to go back to sleep! Getting to sleep is already hard enough without hunger interfering! UGH!! And a small snack doesn't help, either, it has to be pretty much a full-blown meal!
