The worst is when I eat a bedtime snack and then wake up hungry only three hours later!
Anyone else?

Oh totally!!! Im 17 weeks along and nursing an 18m/o, and in the early weeks it seemed I could never get full and even after eating a meal, would be hungry a few hours later. I would say its totally normal considering you are making milk and growing a baby at the same time, your body uses up all that energy pretty fast!
I just went with the flow, ate like crazy, and now it seems to have settled down actually, even lately, Ive been feeling full after only eating a little. I think of it bit like BF on demand,
, eating when I feel hungry, regardless of the time of day or wether I just ate 2 hours ago. I think its good to follow what your body says.
