I was absolutely RAVENOUS for the first 20-ish weeks. I'm 24 weeks now and my appetite seems to be fairly normal again, but I imagine the hunger could start again at any moment!</p> <p>Make sure you're having fat and protein with all your snacks/meals, as that will keep you full a lot longer. For example, I find having an omelet in the morning keeps me fuller for WAY longer than a bowl of oatmeal does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-454115 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:25:41 +0000 Mrsbells 454115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like this too around this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-454050 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:58:05 +0000 ladyfingers 454050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal! Lately I am starving all the time but can barely eat anything in one sitting. So I can only eat 1/2 my dinner but then am hungry 20 minutes later! And forget about it if I wake up in the middle of the night -- ugh! I can't snack after 10 or so because I have GD and it will mess up my morning fasting numbers, so if I wake up and can't get back to sleep it's HELL because I'm SO. HUNGRY. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-453823 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:38:07 +0000 Charcole2011 453823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only at 9 weeks and feeling the same - always hungry! But I can only eat small amounts at a time, so it's like I am constantly eating/grazing! Glad some other ladies have had the same experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-452629 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:27:05 +0000 tororojo 452629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal! I have been constantly starving for months now...I get so tired of eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-452520 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:22:59 +0000 sarac 452520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was my story. Make sure that you're eating a TON of healthy fat and protein. I would wake up in the middle of the night craving butter and grease and fats. And protein! I was guzzling milk. And through all this I lost weight. My body is a champ at burning my fat stores while pregnant and then NOT while breastfeeding.</p> <p>I say, enjoy it! Your baby will be perfectly healthy, and hopefully you feel like a knockout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-452504 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:14:50 +0000 pl0508 452504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>baby is probably going through a growth spurt which means YOU are probably going through a growth spurt. i definitely experienced this! Its normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-452470 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:00:41 +0000 jedeve 452470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this around then, ESPECIALLY at night. I'd eat a bowl of oatmeal, a banana, a yogurt, some cheese and peanut butter every night before going to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-452463 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 20:57:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 452463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally normal! some weeks will be hungrier than others, for sure! I usually figured it paired with a baby growth spurt :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-452321 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:50:38 +0000 Bao 452321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes ma'am! You are growing a baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constantly-starving-at-185-weeks#post-452314 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:46:33 +0000 lomom 452314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this normal? I'm eating small snacks every 1-2 hours or so. Today I had cereal around 7, oatmeal around 9, string cheese at 11, a grilled chicken sandwich for lunch at 12, applesauce at 1, a tablespoon of peanut butter at 3, and string cheese at 4.</p> <p>And I'm drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day.</p> <p>The kicker in all this... I'm losing weight. I'm down 2 pounds in 4 days and I've been eating like this for nearly a week now. I'm down 12 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm trying to focus on foods with protein to stay fuller longer, and mix in some dairy (I read that calcium is really important in this stretch since the bones are hardening), as well as snacking on fruits and veggies at home and incorporating those into each meal (like a banana with my cereal or a baked potato with my grilled chicken sandwich, etc.)... but I'm still losing weight and starving all the time! </p>
