Ravenous?!?!

I know we are pregnant and I know appetite increase is normal. But holy bottomless pit! I can't seem to get enough food. Also, all I want is junky carbs. For 2 days, all I've done is eat!
Anyone else feeling a huge appetite increase? Just for fun, any interesting cravings? I can't stop thinking about donuts!!!

Re: Ravenous?!?!

  • This baby refuses to drop so I can't eat everything I want but I can't get enough lemons! Enjoy all the foods for me :)

  • I had some days where I would eat everything in sight, and some where my appetite was closer to normal. Totally normal!

  • I had zero appetite until 3 days ago when the baby dropped.  Now I can't stop thinking about food.  I'm hungry all the time, its insane.  But I remember that this happened with DS too.

  • I have been so hungry the last week or so, but because of the GD, can't indulge my cravings. If I could, I would have to eat donuts, chocolate cake, froyo, and spaghetti. (With garlic bread of course!)

  • It's so weird... It's like we're all eating for two (or more).

    WHAT??!?

  • Yup this is me! I just got off the phone with a friend talking about this! I think to myseld Thank God I have an active job and exercise because i cannot stop eating. Example - made an egg and cheese on whole wheat for lunch with a yogurt and peaches, still felt starved, waited a half hour and then got a cheeseburger :0! I have been so healthy but lately i cannot stop.
  • Just started feeling this way today... cannot stop snacking on sweets.  I'd like to blame baby, but I think it might more likely be boredom.

  • I'm always hungry, and it takes an incredible amount of self control to not eat everything in site.  My wonderful boss just pointed out that my butt has gotten huge, it's bigger than my bump.  She's not actually wrong, but it is still enough to hinder my appetite for a little bit.

  • I made and ate an entire batch of pancakes by myself today, and was still starving. I hear you loud and clear. And baby hasn't even dropped yet!
  • I'm very very thirsty, never feel satisfied. I have no room for food but I like to snack on small stuff.

  • I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I haven't done so well yesterday and today. Tomorrow I'm going to try to pack a lot of healthy snacks for the day. I say this, and may end up eating donuts anyway.
    Luckily my energy is up, so I've been able to exercise.

  • I'd like everyone to know that tonight I made BBQ chicken pizza with fresh cilantro and green peppers, and some awesome Monterey cheddar-jack cheese. It was the bomb.com. I also cooked up the extra chicken so we can have tacos or enchiladas tomorrow.
    Can you send some of that inspiration westward? I would appreciate that.
    On Sunday I made a roast children, yesterday with Bumpies help I used the left overs for enchiladas, and made soup with the rest. 3 easy meals, 1 chicken. 


    I've been eating tons of carbs lately! There's a bakery across the street from my midwives office, so now I go at least once a week. Right now I'm all about the blueberry muffins and rye bread!

  • The past few days, this has started for me again!!  And like so many of you, I'm always wanting carbs!!  Specifically blueberry muffins, after my student mentioned that he ate one for breakfast.  Today, though, instead of being starving, I've been nauseous and nothing sounds good :S  Fun times!

  • CARBS CARBS CARBS!!! It's really ridiculous! I had 5 pancakes for breakfast (they weren't silver dollar) and I was starving by 9. Lunch was 2 bowls of smashed potatoes. I'm sure I'll be "ravenous" again by 3.

    My boss asked me earlier if I would cheer up if he brought me some food :) sure, I'll take some cupcakes, doughnuts, cookies, and a lemonaid! Please and Thank You!!!

  • Totally feel the same way. I feel like a teenage boy going through a growth spurt. Food, more food. And yes, more food, please! My DH is getting a kick out of it.

  • I went to two different restaurants the other night. I had one dinner then got embarrassed to order more so went around the corner to another place and ordered another entire dinner.

    So yes I understand you!
