I went to bed hungry. Now I'm scared

ChicOne · December 2013

I ate a snack before bed but was still hungry. Now I'm scared by baby isn't ok

Jayers10 · December 2013

... ?

ChicOne · December 2013

What...? I just tried getting advice online and all I see is "never go to bed hungry" so that makes me more scared

rainydayluck · December 2013

WTF?

ChicOne · December 2013

What rainy ? You think I'm too paranoid?

ChicOne · December 2013

Ok I will try to relax. Online it said: if your hungry so is baby" so I feel like an idiot for not eating more before bed

WashingtonQueen · December 2013

How old are you?

You'll also find people online that says you're eating for 2 when pregnant, but we know that's not true either. It's ok to go to be hungry occasionally. I wouldn't make it a habit (that would just suck to be hungry every night) but you and your baby are fine from one night of not having a big enough snack before bed.

ChicOne · December 2013

29 but I feel like this is my first time because it's been 6 yrs since I was pregnant. We were ttc for a long time so I feel like a newbie at this

ChicOne · December 2013

I appreciate all your input ladies!

lol

I know you might be serious with this concern but you do need to relax. And think logically. And maybe learn more about the whole baby growing process. And maybe read more than the first sentence of 'tips' because there is no way going to be hungry will hurt your baby. Any of the above should help you avoid such panic.

Here's the easiest way to see it: unless you are smoking, drinking, doing drugs or taking X rated prescriptions (you know, the big 'hell no' list) just go by how you are feeling. If you are feeling okay, it's likely that little bundle of cells is okay. If you are so lacking on food that you are shaking and passing out, than yes then eating ASAP is important for the baby because it's important for mommy too. A little tummy rumble after bedtime isn't going to do anything. It's not even going to keep that baby up yet at this point in pregnancy

W .... T .... F

Is this how today is going to be?

brneyedbride114 · December 2013

You have to remember that it is YOU that is hungry, not your baby. The baby will take whatever they need from you. My dr suggested to eat small meals throughout the day and not 3 larger meals. Just make sure you aren't losing weight.

PrimRoseMama · December 2013

um, baby takes what they need from you. You will suffer (being hungry) but baby is fine. Even women in countries where they are starving can have healthy babies. Relax.

skr1619 · December 2013

@biglewzer you changed it back!!! I kinda miss Janelle

madfam0405 · December 2013

PS - I'm hungry almost all the time because everytime I eat I get sick and then am hungry again. If hunger hurt the baby, then I'd be up the creek right about now. It's been a glorious week.

I'm too wishy washy. Janelle will be back!

Wow some of you are so immature with your rude comments. Grow up!

hfooter · December 2013

Wow. I must be so awesome and such a great mother because I make sure to eat chips before bed every night, in bed...LMFAO

ChicOne · December 2013

Hfooter that's something lol. And to the girls who are saying I'm the one who's immature.... How old are you? 17? There really is no silly question on my opinion even though it may come across as one. Being concerned for your baby is natural.

Concern is natural, yes. And there will always be something to be worried about. But you are going to drive yourself nuts if you are concerned to that level without more in depth research to quell your fears. Seriously. Any real research, even a google search, would have shown you this isn't something to worry about. It's going to be a long pregnancy if you get yourself worked up over everything!

rockopera · December 2013

Yes, there are silly questions. Stupid ones, even.

Especially from women of childbearing age with access to the internet and (hopefully) some common sense.

Meery82 · December 2013

This has got to be MUD. If not, it's one of the dumbest fucking questions I have ever seen. JFC.

ChicOne · December 2013

I did do a google search and couldn't find anything. Instead of calling my nurse I decided to come on here first (after trying to get an answer myself) and was hoping to get a respectful response. (Received a couple) It really seems a lot of people get a high off of making fun of someone's concern, and get a kick out of trying to turn it around and make the poster look like a dork. I was hoping the ladies on here were more mature than the ones in cafemom. But no, you're all the same. (Most of you anyway, not all) this isn't just for questions, if you haven't noticed. So have a good day. Thanks again to the ladies with the respectful responses.

LOL at dork. Don't call the nurse. She will laugh. Maybe not to your face. But she will. And did you really think you were going to get a different reaction on another forum when you are asking something so stupid? @-)

Can you share the link to your post on cafemom? Assuming you asked them the same question.

Stick around a lurk a little while. You will see that there are, in fact, many silly questions. Check out the one about cutting hair over on the 2nd tri boards.

But seriously, if the baby needs something, it will take it from you and will be fine. The "don't go to bed hungry" thing is to help relieve morning sickness, it has nothing to do with starving your baby. Relax.

if you lurked and read posts here then you would have known the types of answers you were going to get. the board is snarky. people get sick of the same questions all the time.

I've never seen this question before. Lol!

tealowl · December 2013

This is something I don't think I'll have to worry about. I let my dogs out at 2AM this morning and ate a hunk of cheese and half a leftover sausage patty. Cold.

My point was that you found enough to make you worry about it. The whole 'don't go to bed hungry' thing? That's what set you off on this nervous quest for information. I'm guessing that there was more information following that simple statement on any article source worth reading. That's what I meant by googling more. If one phrase finds you nothing on google, than you try another. If you come to a message board, try asking casually instead of so dramatically. There is very little you can do at this stage that isn't on the obvious 'no' list that can hurt your baby.

awc1986 · December 2013

FWIW I go to bed hungry all the time because I'm too damn lazy to go to the fridge.

I would like you to call your OB and ask this question. Please let us all know the answer.

allgood921 · December 2013

Aw man, I came here hoping this was a joke thread. Highly disappointed :[

laurmar21 · December 2013

I can understand pregnancy being a scary thing. I have not had easy experiences with pregnancy (lost 2 of my sweet babies and have 2 here with me on Earth) ... so I will not be one of the ones mocking you for your questions/concerns. There is a good chance you know something I don't and vice versa. I think it is awesome that you are so concerned about taking care of yourself and baby. That is a very good start

I, personally, do try and have a very nutritious snack before bed just to keep my blood sugar regulated. But, don't sweat it if you forget

ldtell · December 2013

I had biometric screening at work and fasted for 24 hours. Doc said it was no problem at all as long as I could stomach it.

AmericanInOz · December 2013

and don't forget a lot of women have terrible M/S and barely keep anything down the whole pregnancy, yet still have healthy babies

This. Only.. Mine was mexican shredded cheese. Out of the bag. Because the big meal I ate for dinner totally filled me up for like an hour. And let's face it... Cheese is spectacular at 2 am.

You rebel.

Between this crap, the post about whether or not it's ok to have your eyebrows waxed, and the one that was deleted about a baby needing mom's hair because it's iron...I just can't.

Just think - this woman is raising a child already.
