I was starving in the first tri!! Totally normal.

I felt like that too around that time frame.

Eat up!

Totally normal!

I used to keep granola bars by my bed!

What helped me was when I did eat (if you can tolerate it) eat protein. Then I was not as hungry later.

very normal. (i finally had to start counting calories, because just eating whatever i wanted i was packing on fat like crazy! i still eat constantly, just working on making it healthier stuff.) and regardless of whether you're super-hungry, it's good for you to eat every 3 hours . . . the baby will appreciate the constant stream of nutrition. so chow down!

Totally normal - I was starving my entire first tri. We went to Houston to visit some friends around my 9th week and DH called and warned that I might eat them out of house and home.

On that thought, I'm off to find some food.

Normal. I mastered making pb sandwhiches in the dark. : ) You might want to start carrying lots of snacks in your purse. I always had half a peanut butter sandwhich, pretzel sticks and granola bars in there because I would become insanely hungry out of nowhere.

I hope it's normal because I'm hungry all the time too!

Definitely normal. I kept cheerios and stuff in my nightstand, but would still end up in the kitchen making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at 3 am. I agree with posters who said try to have some protein-- you want it to last you through a little more of the night so you can get some rest!
