Is anyone else starving?

[Mamabexter]

I had gained 17 pounds total at 32 weeks and was thrilled that I was on track with weight gain. However, I was 34 weeks on Monday and cannot seem to stop eating. I am hungry ALL THE TIME! I am a little nervous to see what my gain will be on my appointment tomorrow. I don't remember getting so hungry at this point with DS. Perhaps I just have a bad memory, but this seems ridiculous! Thanks for letting me get that out. I actually feel a little better now.

Eat when your body tells you to eat. Your little one is putting on all her cute baby fat now and needs the extra calories. I am eating way more as well and feeling pretty tired. Just go with the flow, I can not wait to NOT be pregnant anymore:)

ROFL!

This is about the only time in my pregnancies that I'm not starving. I eat so much when I'm pg, which explains my 50 lb weight gains. But I seem to loose my appitite at the end. It will be back when I start nursing, though. Usually with a vengence! lol.

As of last fri I have gained 6.5lbs..baby is growing great though had some size scans just to make sure


As far as starving I'm usually okay but atleast once a day out of no where I'm so starving I think I'm gonna pass out lol

I was starving all the time for the entire 2nd tri, now not so much, I'm too full of baby to have room for much food. Its a good thing though because I've already gained 25 lbs and I hope not to gain more than 5 lbs more.

My weight has seriously jumped at my last 2 visits but I cannot stop eating!:drif: Its insane!

I have to say that I too find myself eating almost constantly!!! I have gained mad weight. I just had my appt on Monday and I had gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks!!! I am 34+ weeks. So far I have gained 38 lbs. There is no way I am only going to gain 2 more lbs in the next 6 weeks. ( I gained 40 with both of my previous pregnancies) Even worse is that I am hungry for JUNK!!!

I eat like 5 meals a day. Between working out, being 36 weeks, and running after my 17 month old I think I need the extra calories. Most of what I eat is really healthy. Fruit and proteins, sometimes veggies or whole wheat bread with PB. I think the baby has growth spurts, because I will have extra hungry days!

I have gained about 22 lbs.

I am finding Im not that hungry. I mean, I eat when I need to. And, I can only eat so much at a time.

I am 34 weeks and since about 24 weeks I have had to eat in the middle of the night just to keep us both from waking at 5 am starving. I have literally a pound of cashews right by my bed and make sure to eat a handful at midnight with some water when I get up to pee. It's crazy. I am overweight to start with and have gained about 8 pounds. I can tell when he is having a growth spurt b/c if I go more than two hours without a sandwich my hands shake too badly to even make myself food.

I have to eat before I leave to meet a friend for lunch :blush:.

Hi!
I have gained about 30 lbs. or so, - they say a lb. a week, right? So i am a little below which is fine for me!
I dont notice the hunger, maybe because I keep eating. i do notice that I eat a lot more than usual and am not full.
I ate a double steakburger last night - then just now ate 2 bowls of cereal, a little muffin and going for some cheese, and dont feel full!

BTW_ there is no DS mood for "Hungry!"

This would definitely be a great descriptor for me!!! Of course, now that it is getting hot, it is hard to tell if current weight gain is more from eating or swelling. I was up 4 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks at my last appointment but go in again this Monday to start weekly visits. Let's see, that makes 21 total gain at 34 1/2 weeks. The heat has started to curb my appetite some though, so who knows what will happen. Although, I could have definitely had a snack about 4 am this morning...

Ok, I can officially say YES to this. This little one must be getting ready to make its appearance and is just fattening up. I am SO HUNGRY all the time now. I was so not like this with the others at this point---I'm not supposed to have any room for food with all the baby in here, right?
Uh, no. Ok, off to make pancakes and eggs for breakfast :giggle2:

[missemily]

I find myself eating more little snacks and meals. I guess the little guy must be taking up alot of space because i wasn't up to par at the all you can eat chinese buffet last night.
