When does this alleged "stuffed" feeling start?!

StrawberryAlarmClock · January 2010

I keep reading these posts about Bumpies who feel "stuffed" half way through their meals. Well, slide it on over to me, ladies! I have been absolutely ravenous since 1st tri.

When does this "oh woah is me I couldn't possibly take another bite" phenomenon begin and where do I sign up??

For me, it started about a week ago.

I would love to know. I'm a bigger heifer than ever.

I get that feeling now, but only if I over-indulge myself. I'm trying to eat sensibly sized meals, otherwise, I know I will pay for it an hour later.

You get there. I don't remember when, but it happens. And, for me, it's more common that I eat the same amount for a meal, but then find myself not getting hungry for the next meal. Like my digestion has slowed wayyyyy down.

I just posted about this a few posts down. For me it really started within the last 2 weeks or so...I think I just ignored it earlier on b/c I was hungrier and just LOVE to eat!

But I get so uncomfortably full now...like where I cant get comfortable in any other position but to lay down. It sucks!

Enjoy it while you can!

I'm still eating everything in sight. It's a wonder I haven't gained too much weight already!

Mine hit at about 33-34 weeks

Kim B. · January 2010

I went through a (brief) period of that overwhelmingly full period. Now I'm just hungry. All. The. Time! :P

whitward87 · January 2010

Mine started about 30 weeks.

aocain02@yahoo.com · January 2010

For me it never really started.

Shana051008 · January 2010

It started for me about a week before Christmas!

fIowerchild · January 2010

Around 20 weeks. Are you tall? Maybe you just have more 'room'.

Big J · January 2010

I haven't gotten that yet. But I do suffer from major heartbeat from EVERYTHING I eat.

Mrs.KLF · January 2010

I'm 38 weeks and it still hasn't started, LOL. I was just saying that I'm totally not going to be one of those women that loses their appetite at the end of pregnancy!

pinkcallalily · January 2010

It started just a few days ago for me. My husband is all worried because I'm not starving all the time anymore and am not eating nearly as much at each meal as I was just last week.

BottomStar · January 2010

I think it comes around the same time as the alleged nesting! (LOL, JK) I've gotten neither, my house is a mess and all I want to do is eat!

BBachmann · January 2010

It started about a week ago for me too. And the heartburn has really picked up since then too.

gypsywitch · January 2010

I'm already stuffed.

Mrs.katie_love · January 2010

Ugh about 2 weeks ago... I'm miserable if I eat too much.

mitchelltheojua · January 2010

I've been feeling it for a couple of weeks now but for whatever reason, hasn't caused me to push away from the table ... I still eat like a hog ... even though I'm miserable ....

kciriello · January 2010

I'm 36 weeks and have no concept of this feeling...I've been eating the same way throughout my entire pregnancy (except 1st tri when I was very sick) and have not had major appetite changes one way or the other...

maria120 · January 2010

I've been wondering the same thing!

momtotom · January 2010

I'm wondering if it depends on how you carry. When my son, I was hungry the ENTIRE pregnancy. With this one (a girl) I have not had an appetite at all since about 24 weeks. And I'm carrying much higher with her as well. I also gained 50 pounds with my son and am around 23-24 lbs right now. Interesting!

leigh517 · January 2010

mine started around 28 or 29 weeks. i eat a LOT less at meals now than i used to, and i rarely get very hungry anymore...

RadicalDreamer143 · January 2010

Seems to be that it depends on how you are carrying/how much you are showing. I've had that feeling ever since 24 weeks, but I have a small torso, and the belly takes up every ounce of available room. This unfortunately also leads to horrible heartburn!

Headed2Hoboken · January 2010

For me it started about 6 weeks ago. I'm normally a huge eater, and that didn't slow down during the pg at all. But right around Thanksgiving, out of nowwhere I'd be stuffed after eating a small amount of a meal. I realize now that I need to eat smaller meals, spreading out food throughout the day. If I overdo my lunch, I'm almost never feel hungry for dinner. (I do still eat a small dinner bc I don't want to get hungry just as I'm going to bed, or wake up starving and light headed).
