HOLY BALLS do I eat a TON. I don't always find the time to eat every meal, but proportions are def larger than during pregnancy! Once I start eating, it's like my appetite grows and grows!!
-
Yes, I was always hungry!!!!
-
I'm 14 weeks out and huge appetite! Plus I'm below pre preg weight! Crazy what bf'ing does!
-
yup! I'm 11 weeks PP tomorrow and eat like a horse, mainly during the night. during the day I'm so busy that I think it catches up with me at night.
-
Oh my gosh. I eat more PP now that I am breastfeeding, than I did when I was pregnant.
-
I wasn't super hungry while nursing! :T
-
Yep! I am super hungry all the time. I am 8.5 months PP!!
-
I was ALWAYS hungry, like seriously never ever got full! And I still kept losing weight. It caught up to me after I stopped...I gained 10 pounds.
-
I'm nursing my 15 month old on demand STILL, and she demands a LOT. I eat a ton. It's a pain in the ass honestly.
-
I noticed my appetite is about the same except when he's going through a growth spurt. Then I'm super hungry and thirsty all day.
-
Oh my god the first weekend home I ate an entire large pizza. By myself. Those first few weeks were very "must have all the foods!!!" It was such a switch from the complete lack of appetite I had when I was pregnant. I still eat more than I ever have but it's calmed down some.
-
It's weird I thought I would be really hungry while nursing but I'm not! It's kind of nice not feeling like a bottomless pit the way I did during my third tri!
-
YES! but even more super-thirsty, like pull-over-to-get-a-giant-Sprite-from-McD's thirsty and in normal life, that's something I would never, ever do!
-
@rachiecakes: yes, the thirst has been insane! Like if I don't have water when I need it I feel like I might pass out.
-
Those first couple months I was hungry ALL THE TIME! It has regulated though over time.
-
I get super thirsty. It's like the second she latches on my mouth goes dry and I need water STAT. Honestly though I'm not super hungry. My first week post partum my mom and husband had to fight with me and force me to eat. I had absolutely zero interest in food. Now that I'm 2.5 weeks pp eating isn't such a chore but I do have to remind myself to do it. The good news is that I was below pre preg weight by 10 days post partum. Can't wait until I'm cleared to work out so I can tone this flab up!
-
I wasn't hungry as often as I was while pregnant but I could PACK IT AWAY while BF. Ate HUGE meals.
-
I used to be so hungry all the time. Once I had two plates of pasta for dinner and still felt like I had eaten nothing!
-
I have been SO hungry since coming home and breastfeeding!
It was worse in the beginning -- the first 3 or 4 weeks I was eating all of the time, including overnight! It's tapered off since and I'm not as starving now.
-
@winniebee: exactly, forced myself to eat while pregnant, but ravenous while breastfeeding. Super thirsty too!
-
I had no appetite for about 3 or 4 weeks PP, now I'm back to my old self!
-
I'm always hungry but have to watch because I am not one of the lucky women who loses weight while BF. I am starting to watch what I'm eating and focusing on healthier foods which seems to help with the always hungry thing.
-
Especially those first three months? I was starving all the time! I swore I was going to need to attach a feed bag to myself when I went back to work!!
-
No appetite and not thirsty but I know both are important so I'm trying to drink and eat more to help with my supply
-
Yes! I was so hungry that I would frequently eat 2 lunches at work. An early lunch and a late lunch! I should have probably controlled myself a little better..
-
I'm more hungry breastfeeding than I ever was pregnant.
-
I was so hungry the first week my stomach woke me up to eat more than the baby did! I've always been a big water drinker but am more diligent about always refilling now and in our third week hunger has calmed down. Thank goodness.
