Is anyone else STARVING lately?!

ToBeMrsC6907 · February 2011

I swear, in the past 2 weeks or so I have turned into a bottomless pit. I have noticed a dramatic increase in my appetite, anyone else around 28ish weeks notice the same thing?? I'm trying to stick to the healthy stuff (fruits, veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, low fat dairy, etc) but sometimes it's tough! I've done so well on my weight gain so far...15 lbs at 26 weeks. With DS, I had gained 30 lbs by 28 weeks and ended up gaining 50 total- trying not to repeat that! Ugh...

I'm riding the appetite roller coaster...26-29 weeks I was a bottomless pit. Nowadays I'm lucky to get half a grapefruit down without wanting to vomit because I'm so full.

Oh, this is good news...maybe the end of this voracious appetite is near. I remember not being able to eat as much towards the end with DS...hopefully this is just a temp thing.

Seriously, I'm hungry like every 2 hours. And not just for a snack/mini-meal! I can only eat so many clementines, apples, string cheese, nuts, rice cakes, etc!

yes and no. Somedays my stomach is always growling and others I am sick from an orange and sometimes it changes during the day. Yesterday, I was starved ALL day. Today, I am hungry but nothing too abnormal yet....

ya not so much here. but i think being congested and not feeling well in general will have an impact on that! i was up 10 lbs but i lost some weight with not being hungry

I've been STARVING! However, once I eat I feel so full I could throw up!!!

NeverEnoughTime · February 2011

I am constantly starving, also since 28 weeks. I could just eat and eat and eat. I try to stick to cereal when I am snacky because its not too heavy. I have been loving fruit loops lately

MommyHarrison · February 2011

Depends on the day for me...and heck, even the time of day. Some days I absolutely cannot get full, other days I eat even less than I did pre-pregnancy. And this morning, for example, I could not get full (mornings are when I find myself the hungriest). I had a bagel, a bowl of apple jacks, some watermelon, and a cinnamon roll all before 10:30am, but I haven't wanted anything else since then. It's very unpredictable!

Yep! I am 29 weeks tomorrow and very hungry! I defintely go thru spurts of hunger. I am typing this as my hubby is making chili and I had to make a PB & J sandwich just to hold me over!

meghanchrisaz · February 2011

Yes! I have been eating nonstop. Thankfully, I've been craving lots of fruits and other healthy stuff during the day. The problem is that after my kids go to bed all I want to eat is crap like ice cream and candy. I don't want to share with them. Embarrassed

hubby is getting a big kick out of my voracious appetite

Jram85 · February 2011

Me too! I found that if I eat oat meal in the morning it curbs the hunger until about 11am. But not the 'instant' kind, the actual kind you cook, or even the 'quick cook' kind.

Then of course I eat until I feel like I could puke, like a lot of the pp's have said. My stomach just feels squished against my lungs these days.

kammmmay · February 2011

I have been hungry all the time lately. No matter what I eat, I cant seem to get full, but I cant eat much in one sitting because there is just no room in there. It is hard to eat only healthy foods, some just aren't very filling, but I've found that broccoli fills you up quite a bit! I love pineapple too, but it gives me bad heartburn.

MrsPLW71 · February 2011

Yes! I swear I will just get done eating and am still hungry. For the first time, I am actually eating more than DH!

mrbear83 · February 2011

I am almost a carbon copy of your situation. I am at 15 pounds, and I swear today, I tried to snack, and I kept going back and back and back to the kitchen for a little more...

I'm trying to elect healthy snacks, and lower sugary stuff, but I'm STARVING!!!

After lunch (tomato and chicken pasta) I had 6 cut up strawberries, 2 fig newtons, cheese slices, handful of almonds and raisins, and TONS of water. Still hungry.

I was still begging DH to hurry home so I could cook dinner by 5:45. hah!

JUSTBEYOURSELF · February 2011

I finally this week decided that I love food again!! thank god.

Strawberries are my best friend!!! cantelope yum! carrots, pita chips, upped my water intake big time, sunny d, orange juice, spagetti, thin mints.. pineapple was good for a few days now it does nothing. Chocolate bread I got from the bakery the other day with nutella on it = heaven. raisinettes and goobers.

I have a dr's appt tuesday so we will see if I finally am gaining more. last appt I was only up 6 lbs but trust me I look like I swallowed a basketball.

I did not get to go to the farmers market last week and I ate like complete crap. I have weird bouts of hunger. Usually if I eat a big meal I am disgustingly full afterwards. Sometimes I snack all the time and others I don't eat for a couple of hours. Very weird. But now I AM hungry so gtg
