(As I am eating right now). My pregnancy was pretty normal and I ate like normal. With BF I eat every couple of hours. I wake up in the morning and feel like I am going to be sick because I am so hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding/page/2#post-883110 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:33:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 883110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always hungry pregnant, never hungry breastfeeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding/page/2#post-883028 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:20:56 +0000 mrsjyw 883028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>breastfeeding. i never had cravings or ate for two during pregnancy. </p> <p>7 months pp and i eat for an entire family. my hunger is never satisfied!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding/page/2#post-882994 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:14:24 +0000 sarac 882994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BREASTFEEDING. Less so now that she's 21 months and nursing somewhat less. I put on some weight when she was still a baby - I had to get out of the mindset that I had to eat a ton every day.

I was hungry more while pregnant. Breastfeeding doesn't seem to make me hungry AND it isn't knocking off the pounds like I thought it was supposed to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding#post-881528 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 06:12:45 +0000 Ree723 881528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was breastfeeding, but now that I'm pregnant AND breastfeeding, there is not enough food in the world to satisfy me right now! Only 8 weeks pregnant so hoping the appetite calms down soon because the amount of food I am eating is ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding#post-881498 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 04:43:18 +0000 Purpledaisy 881498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding by far!

Gosh, it was insane how much I could pack away between the newborn-6 months. I had food aversions my entire pregnancy and baaad morning sickness so I think that made me miss food more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding#post-881440 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 00:48:21 +0000 lamariniere 881440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding!!! I ate like a teenage boy on a basketball team. Whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it and still lost weight without doing anything else.

I must be the odd one because I don't feel an increase of appetite now. In fact, with my breastfeeding and sleep deprivation diet I weigh LESS than before I got preggy. It's crazy. But I definitely pigged out when I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding#post-881294 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 21:42:58 +0000 Mrsjets 881294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding!

Since month 3-ish of pregnancy I have eaten SO MUCH FOOD. The first month postpartum I woke up hungry in the middle of the night. It seemed to settle for a while but lately I'm more hungry than ever. Hoping LO starts liking solids more soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding#post-881245 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 21:14:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 881245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely breastfeeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-more-hungry-when-pregnant-or-breastfeeding#post-881239 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 21:12:14 +0000 MarieJ 881239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My appetite was bigger while pregnant for sure.
