Mine hit this week... fortunately even though I get so hungry, when I eat I fill up fast!
I hopped on the scale and I haven't gained more than 4lbs. since the beginning so I feel like that is a small victory.
I already ate my lunch but I am still hungry!

Re: When did your voracious appetite kick in?
Mine hit about your time and went away about a week later. It came back yesterday worse than ever so I'm thinking it will go away in about a week or so.
I think I remember somebody telling me our appetites get bigger when we are about to go through a growth spurt.
This is me.
Thanks for asking!! I was wondering the same thing- I eat like I did before I got pregnant.. and that sometimes includes just Lunch, Snack, and Dinner! I don't like getting out of bed early if I don't have to work so I skip breakfast a lot (I know-- not good)
I think around 12.5 weeks is when I started eating a lot. I'll eat two lunches most days. I just ate four huge pieces of pizza and I could eat more. It takes a LOT for me to feel miserably full now days and before I always made myself miserable lol. I love food, what can I say?
It changes day by day. I had really hungry days starting about 6 weeks. I was either starving today, or was green at the gills all day.
But like you, it doesn't take much to fill me up (and I am very careful not to get too full) so I usually end up dividing all of my meals into two and eating one, then having the other about 2 hours later.
Probably around 15 weeks.
I can eat and eat and eat and still not feel full though. It's a problem.

for me it really hit me this week, I even wake up at night absolutely starved.
I go back and forth. It seems like I will be constantly eating for a couple days, then go back to normal for a couple more. At least when I'm eating often, it's small amounts - as hungry as I am I get full fast.
Right now I'm in a constant eating mode, so I'm off to find something to eat!
I started having hunger pains every 2-3 hrs starting from week 5!
I had my 1st appt on 03/11 and my 2nd appt just 04/12 and I've gained 7 lbs. The nurse kind of looked at me sidweways and said, "Well, we don't have to put you on a diet yet." .... great. lol
