Waking up in middle of the night STARVING!

BYZ · March 2015

As I turned 27 weeks last week I started waking up in middle of the night feeling as if I've been fasting or something. I couldn't even fall back asleep I had to get up and eat something! Also when I wake up in the morning again hungry like crazy and I feel bad that maybe baby's hungry and I run out of bed to eat! Is this normal? It's been a whole week now that I wake up every single night for a midnight snack!!

I do not know if it's normal but it happened to me, it went away now that im 31 weeks but when I hit the 20's ugh I felt like a raccoon looking for food in the fridge.

Yes it's normal. Baby needs nourishment all of the time. Plan to have water and snacks by your bed.

Oh yea!! It's a must!! Knowing that there's a chance the hunger will just go by is great news to me cuz last night I was up from 4-6 hunting for food.

This happens to me too! My husband filled one of my nightstand drawers with semi healthy snacks and I take a glass of water to bed with me. I wake up about 3 everyday Pop open my drawer and eat, because if I don't in the morning I'm literally gagging and feel worse!

Up until halfway through my second trimester I had a hard time eating at all and in fact lost weight. I felt so guilty every time someone commented on how skinny my face looked. I hit 26 weeks and literally overnight I woke up and felt like I was ravenous! I now wake up EVERY night to eat. Sometimes it is a little snack or sometimes I will fry up a whole steak to eat. I am proud to say that I gained my weight back since now that I can eat and eat well. It is normal, I don't remember being so ravenous with my son but I remember a mild version of it with him too.

I'm so glad to hear it's not just me! Last night I had a good dinner at like 7:30, went to bed at 10 and laid there for an hour feeling hungry but thinking there was no way I could actually be hungry. Finally had to get up and have a snack so that I could sleep! I'm 27 + 4, good to know this will pass!

This has just started happening to me too! For the past week straight every night I dream that I am at a buffet...or waiting in line for ice cream and then I wake up...so sad. No ice cream
