Getting Hungry NOW?!

This whole pregnancy I never really got a case of the 'pregnancy hungries'. Aside from 1st tri where I had food aversions, my appetite has essentially stayed the same as pre-pregnancy.
But suddenly, in the last week maybe, I've been feeling much hungrier than before! I wake up starving, eat breakfast with the LOs, and then need a snack to get me through till lunchtime. I eat a big dinner at night, a snack before bed, and then often still go to bed feeling peckish. I'm not eating a TON of food at each sitting, but I'm definitely eating plenty. And I'm drinking tons of water too, so it's not a matter of being thirsty.
Can anyone relate to getting hungrier in these last few weeks? It's seems so weird to me that, throughout the whole pregnancy, I'd be hungrier now, when my stomach is squished to the max and LOs growth has slowed down. (And LO hasn't dropped either, so it's not like my stomach has more room all of a sudden.)

Re: Getting Hungry NOW?!
I am. I woke up at 4 this morning to go to the bathroom. I couldn't fall back asleep, so at 5 I got up and made myself scrambled eggs and an English muffin b/c I was so hungry. That's really unusual for me.
I feel like I am constantly snacking as well. I've gone through 5 whole pineapples and several bags of pecans over the last 4 weeks (with the help of DD).
Yes! I've been able to control my weight gain really well throughout this pregnancy bc I haven't been super hungry.
But once I hit 34 weeks--watch out!!!
Im eating like a crazy person. And it's actual hunger, not bored/stress hunger. My stomach actually growls at the strangest times (like when I'm getting up to pee 5 times a night).
Youre definitely not alone!
You are so not alone.
I really couldn't eat much most of this pregnancy because this baby was so high up, but she's dropped a bit in the last two weeks and I am starting to be able to eat bigger portions again. I dove into a rack of ribs and poor DH thought he would end up with a bunch of them. Uh, sorry, honey!
I'm right there with you. I have cereal in the morning and I'm starving again by 9:30.
And, on top of the starvation, I've actually lost a couple of pounds over the past week. I think LO is packing it on in there.
LOL! this is so me. I eat before I leave for work. then eat again. This reminds me of that scene in Lord of the Rings when Pippen is ready to eat again. I so feel like Pippen and Aragorn is my boss constantly calling me into a meeting:
Aragorn: Gentlemen, we do not stop 'til nightfall.
Pippin: What about breakfast?
Aragorn: You've already had it.
Pippin: We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?
[Aragorn turns and walks off in disgust]
Merry: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.
Pippin: What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?
Merry: I wouldn't count on it.
