Anyone else packing in the groceries?

OHMYGOODNESS! I can't believe how HUNGRY I am all the time now. I'm literally eating every two hours or so night and day. I will wake up in the middle of the night starving.

We usually eat 6 small meals a day (all of us), but I'm eating much more often than that!

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing extreme hunger all the time.

Ya know...my hunger has just started to pick up. I am still sick all day long though. IT's very awkward to be hungry and nauseous at the same time.
I eat a lot and my arse is showing it, but it's not from actual hunger, just trying to avoid that empty stomach --->nausea--->vomitting train. I've gained 10 pounds already...yikes!
I was rediculously hungry for about the first 6 weeks after finding out, but the last week or two my appetite has all of a sudden decreased. Anyone else experience the same thing?

my appetite is slowly starting to slow down. at first i had to eat the very second that i realized i was hungry, but now i've noticed that my hunger seems more gradual instead of hitting me all at once.
For about the last 24 hours I have been soooo hungry. I'd be embarassed to write out everything I have consumed. I can't help it though my tummy is starving. I guess my body is trying to make up for feeling like junk for so long.

It comes in waves with me. My problem is not eating often enough. I woke up at 7:30 today and I thought I was going to pass out after I got out of the shower and dressed at 8:20. Literally had to run to the kitchen and cram something in my mouth. Tonight I felt sorta yuck about dinner, but since 10pm, have eaten 3 pieces of bread with cheese and a handful of grapes. Not as queasy, but I have horrid mouth issues. It is that pregnancy yucky mouth! I brush my teeth a lot and it does not help!
I've noticed that I am getting stomach growls late at night and middle of the night this past week. I still have a lot of adversions, so makes it kind of hard though. I haven't gotten sick at all, but many things just sound nasty to me.

I was just posting on another board on this very topic. I was saying that I was just getting used to the hunger and am better able to manage it. However, maybe it is that my hunger is decreasing. I'm not getting that I gotta eat now or I'll puke feeling nearly as much.
I think since DS came along almost 2.5 years ago, I have been hungry all the time. Now with baby #2 coming along, I have definitely been snacking more. So far I'm pretty proud of myself and eating mostly healthy foods. DS and I love to snack on fruits together. I have also been eating a lot of crackers. My cravings involve both sweet/fruity and salty/crunchy, so I have been eating lots of yummy stuff lately (and as many others have said, much of my consumption is to try to avoid being nauseous all the time too!)

Hang in there, ladies, first trimester is nearing an end!

This is me as well. I'm starving, I eat but can only eat a little bit at a time, I spend the next 2 hours nauseated and trying to keep down what I've eaten, and then I'm starving again.
