Has anyone else gotten hit with the need to eat every second? I have felt like the bottomless pit the last four to five days. I've done really well with my weight all pregnancy long and really haven't had but a day here and there of feeling super hungry, but now at 38w+, I will literally eat a big meal and an hour later feel like I haven't eaten all day! I read many women have the opposite effect and lose a couple pounds the last couple weeks
Just wondering if anyone else has been having insane hunger? It's getting annoying because I feel like I'm starving no matter how much food I eat.
Re: Hunger
But yes, it is annoying that so many pregnancy sites/books talk about losing weight in the last month and how that's normal. The opposite isn't abnormal either.
On a side note: my hospital has kick-ass food and I'm actually looking forward to eating while I'm there.
I feel like the hunger is sometimes weird though, like I feel hungry but If I bend down I have some reflux and see I havent fully digested (tmi sorry).
Maybe baby pressing triggers a fake feeling of hunger for some of us while it blocks the apetite of others ?
I hadn't gained any weight in 12 weeks due to being diagnosed with GD at 22 weeks and then suddenly the last 3 I've gained around a pound each week.
I think the baby has been going through some growth spurts too.

Can I tell ya'll about the sandwich I've eaten everyday for lunch this week?...
It's so good, I need to relive it; DELICIOUS seedy, soft yet slightly crunchy whole grain bread (that Eureka brand was on super sale) with mustard, mayo, and thickly spread spicy carrot hummus. A ton of cilantro, slices of cucumber, sweet dill pickles, and half an avocado. Slices of this super yummy lentil and brown-rice "meatloaf" I made earlier this week.
It just all works and is SO GOOD. I can't wait for lunch tomorrow, it'll be the last of the loaf so I'm eating it slowly.
