Anyone else starving all the time?

[Cativari]

I'm 17 weeks today and for the last week I've been starving. I've put on 2-3 lbs in that time. It's the first bit of weight I've gained so I"m not concerned about that...yet. (I'm still 2lbs abouts from pre-pregnancy wieght) But I don't remember being this hungrey with my first. (Of course I wasn't BFing then either so that might have something to do with it) I am a little worried about what will happen if my appitiete does not calm down and I continue to put on 2-3 lbs a week. I'm a bit over weight to begin with so my target weight gain is supose to be between 20-30lbs. I'm rambling now so I'll stop. LOL

I was just wondering if anyone else is experincing this. And what, if anything, I should do. Do I need to be concerned?

Oh, god yes. I feel like a teenage boy. I'm constantly starving. If you've only put on two or three pounds at 17 weeks, I wouldn't worry at all about weight gain. I say eat to hunger, try to eat healthy, get a bit of exercise and you're all good.

Oh yes - constantly starving here too. Its only noon here and already I've eaten: a banana, a bowl of granola, 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter, 2 leftover rice and bean "burritos" from dinner last night, 2 mugs of RRL tea and 3 glasses of water. Oh yea and some chocolate cake and a glass of milk.

Mine must of hit earlier because right now my appetite isn't quite like it was 2wks ago. Usually i would wake up starving and go to bed starving and now it's just the opposite. I can go much longer now w/out eating but I'm sure it will change again. When I was eating everything insight I gained 5 pds in 2 wks so my body is probably trying to catch up from that

Aw jeez, maybe I need more physical activity or something, but I have ZERO appetite. I'd much rather be ravenous, than feel like this!
