At what point do you say, "go for it - you're growing a baby" or "knock it off, you aren't supposed to eat that much" ??
I'm 31 weeks tomorrow. DD and I just split a bag of tortellini. And I'm STILL STARVING. Not like, oh it'll ease up after awhile..I want more food. I'm debating making a small frozen pizza.

I only got like that a few times (assuming during growth spurts). Since I knew it wasn't frequent, I ate more when I felt like I needed to!

Umm, I get like that now and I'm NOT pregnant! I justify it though by saying I'm feeding a baby (still BF'ing C at 9.5 months) and clearly I need those extra calories! I think the same logic applies to pregnancy too

I used to eat lots before anyway so now I think if it isnt something I would have done before I'm not doing it now. Like having an extra slice of cake that's ok but going and getting a macdonalds after already eating my normal dinner.... not ok.

Oh definitely by 30 or 31 weeks, I ate as mumuch as I felt I needed. My gauge was, if chips sound good but fruit sounds just as good, then I'm truly hungry & I should eat. If I'm only wanting junk it's probably just munchies & I should drink some water & see how I feel.

I've always eaten as much as I felt I needed (during pregnancy especially). If I'm hungry I eat

Yep, all the time. In the middle of the night, too. I feel like I'm eating a ton but I haven't gained anything yet at 16 weeks. Wondering when it will catch up to me.
