Almost 21 weeks and starving!

[Mama2Kayla]

Anyone else feeling this way? Over the past few days my appetite has gone crazy and I am finding myself hungry every 2 hrs .

I don't remember noticing such a sudden shift like this with my last two pregnancies. I guess baby must be going through a growth spurt

[MaerynPearl]

as soon as my nausea was not so severe I was starving!

I have to be very careful to eat HEALTHY those every-two-hours when I am hungry or I could end up putting on another 50 pounds like I did with DS...

And Im trying very hard NOT to put on weight (outside of what is necessary for pregnancy) because I am already slightly obese to begin with.

I too go through phases where I am very hungry. Like every-hour-starving. Then, a couple days later, it abates. I truly think it corresponds to a growth spurt. So I try to honor my hunger while choosing healthy snacks.

Every few days I cycle from being starving to not having an appetite at all. I'll feel a big hormone surge for a day or two and when that subsides I get the hungries.

It IS tough to keep eating healthy when that happens. When that baby wants a box of pop-tarts that baby NEEDS a box of pop-tarts!
