Waking up STARVING

For the last week I have been waking up absolutely starving every night. I make sure to eat protein right before going to bed which helps me stay asleep longer, but I inevitably wake up. I keep snack at my bedside, but after eating, it's hard for me to get back to sleep. I had the same issue during the first trimester and now it is back with a vengeance.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this something temporary (maybe due to a growth spurt?) or can I expect this to continue for the rest of pregnancy? Also, any tips for managing this? I'm exhausted!

Thanks!

    I do the same thing! 5AM/6AM everyday I wake up for a snack. :-) I keep a snack ready to eat next to the bed...but most of the time I go to the fridge and get fruit.

    It's good to know I'm not alone!
    Does anyone know if this is temporary or if I can expect it to stick around?

    I take Synthroid an hour before I can eat so I always have to wait to eat. It's torture lol

    I recently switched my schedule to working evenings (3-11), and have started having what my boyfriend refers to as "second morning." I go to bed between 1 and 2, wake up with him around 7 when he goes to work. We take the dog out and I have some cereal, then I go back to bed for a couple hours, then have a real breakfast and start my day. I feel so much more relaxed about everything and am so grateful that my job has that flexibility. I think it's just how things are going to be from now on. My BF's sister told me that you don't end up saving money between formula and breast feeding because of how much extra you'll be eating yourself. I don't know if I completely buy that, but I'll take any excuse to eat whenever I feel hungry! It's for the baaabyyyy!  :))

    Same here! I usually have a snack before bed, then I wake up in the middle of the night hungry so I get another snack, then I wake up early morning and I'm starving like I haven't eaten in days!
