I can't stop eating!

Venus04d

The whole beginning of my pregnancy I was too sick to eat.

Almost as soon as that ended, my stomach felt crowded and if I ate much at once, I would get sick.

The girls have dropped very low now and it's taken a lot of pressure off my stomach. I'm starving! All I want to do is eat and eat and eat. It's ridiculous. I've gained about 20 lbs at this point and was hoping not to do too much damage in this home stretch, but I'm really struggling to resist. 

Someone please stop me.

Ha! I would enjoy it. There isnt too much else to do at this point that will give you as much pleasure as eating.

I went through the same thing between weeks 20-28, and was convinced I'd be an absolute whale by the end at that rate. Since 28 weeks, though, my appetite has decreased quite a bit (likely because my poor stomach is running out of room). I'll still have "growth spurts" where I'm ravenous for several days or a week but then go back to a more normal level. If your body is telling you it's hungry, then it's likely because your girls are growing and need the extra nourishment. I listened to those cues and I've gained 24lbs so far at 32 weeks. I had gained pretty much the exact same as you by 28 weeks (I think I was around 18-19lbs up by week 28, and I started out pre-pregnancy about 10lbs overweight). Everyone is different, but it sounds like you're doing great! Growing twins is hard work and burns a lot of those extra calories off

I take all of this kind support as an okay to go get a ho-ho from the cabinet.

My mood is almost entirely determined by my food intake. Fed mama = happy mama. At least that's my excuse for eating every 45 minutes.

I wish I could feel hungry. It's a pain in the ass just getting through the first 1000 calories in a day for me.

I was the same way the first 18 weeks. I hope it gets better for you soon.

Hey! 28 weeks! That's awesome. That's such a huge milestone.

Congrats, and go celebrate with some Hostess products! 

Thanks! I'm so glad. I've been having some random contractions tonight for the first time in awhile. I hope they go away soon. I've been feeling really encouraged lately. I have another cervical check on Thursday. I'm hoping we're still at 2.6 or more!
