pregnant, hungry, weight loss

tinamarshalltinamarshall member
in 2nd Trimester
This will probably make other moms 2 be angry at me :| for that I apologize....I'm 23 weeks and I'm constantly hungry....I eat and within half hr to and hr I'm starving like I haven't ate all day...makes things worse even though I eat constantly I'm not gaining weight. With my other 2 pregnancy I.gained weight with the firstand lost over 50lbs with the 2nd. However neither of them I was this hungry. I know all pregnancy are different but there's got to be something I can do...docs just tell me I'm fine.

    I'm sorry, was there a question in there? Or did you want us give you a pat on the back for not gaining weight? 

    All I can come up with is "good story, bro"

    I am never upset when someone complains about not gaining weight. That is not necessarily anything to wish for while pregnant.

    In fact, it could have grave growth concerns for baby. What has your doctor said? Since you have experience with weight loss during your previous pregnancies, what had the recommendation been before?

    The constant hunger can be very difficult to deal with. Are you getting sick? Focus on proteins & good fats. Avocados, bone broth, full fat cheeses & good, fatty meats. The protein can get you further in the hunger department.

    Also, are you properly hydrated? Often dehydration can present as extreme hunger. Take your current weight, divide by two & that's how many ounces (minimum) you should be consuming of pure water. Staying hydrated can really help.

    @PrimRoseMama At the very end she throws in "docs just tell me I'm fine."  OP your doctors have looked you over and have said that everything is fine.  What is the issue here?

    Are you having an annoying empty stomach feeling that only goes away when you eat? I had that and found out it was from all the acid in my stomach.
