36 wks and hungry a lot..... Anyone else?

[Mrs IKW]

I was mega hungry during the 1st trimester - its probably where a lot of the weight Ive put on came from... then it settled down in 2nd tri and the beginning of 3rd tri but this past week Ive been extra hungry again - Ive been trying to have bowls of fruit n fibre to fill me up rather than toast and naughty things but its still extra calories...

Is anyone else around 35/36/37 etc wks hungry or is it just me?!

I found my hunger got stupidly crazy from 36wks onwards. Even now I'm always starving. Mum said if I go anymore overdue she'll put locks on the cupboards as I'm getting up in the middle of the night for feasts! I blame part of it on insomnia as I just cnt sleep now but I could eat alllllll day! I'm trying to be healthy but sometiimes I just yam junk x

I'm 38 weeks tomorrow, and starting last week, I've been ravenously hungry almost constantly. It reminds me of how hungry I was during my first trimester! I think it's because my bump has started to drop and my stomach isn't as squashed, but that is just a wild guess on my part!

I am almost 36 weeks and the hunger is increasing! But I will say I think a lot of my hunger is offset by the ridculous amounts of fluid I drink. I constantly have something in my hand whether it be juice, water, or milk I can't get enough or seem to quench my thirst. I am going thru a gallon of milk every other day???

 

[minties]

Yes, me! Starving constantly at almost 35 weeks.

I now have to get up at 4am for my first breakfast, I am turning into a hobbit

 

[fairypop]

I am starving and have been for about a week now! I want carbs!! x

 

[BeachPrincess]

OH YES!!! :/ I was eating so good the whole time. I crashed a couple weeks ago. Cookies, snacks, sugar.... I wake up starving int the middle of the night!

Yes they do say thats why we need to eat more at the end of our pregnancy, iv been waking during the night feeling like i havnt ate for a week and im starving, had to go down and make hot milky porridge etc, id recomend that cos it fills you, but defo more hungry in a way that you have to eat or i go ill.

yep, I wake up famished and then have to eat or else I feel sick.

I am trying not to eat too much tho, so I have my three meals, and a couple "milky" coffees (decaf!) to make up the extra calories......

Although my bubba is breach and isnt engaged because of it, so my tummy is still squished!

 

[mum2bdec10]

its probably because the baby is beginning to engage and therefore making more room for your stomach!

i am only 32 weeks but i am a lot more peckish recently, i just cant fit it all in!!!

well i am always hungry but for some reason last night i had 1 party sausage roll at my nanas and then was like phew i am full but my OH commented on how pale i had went and i had a realy bad night last night xx

 

[Mrs IKW]

Im glad its not just me!

To be honest though my tummy hasnt been squashed through the whole pregnancy - Ive been able to eat normal size meals through the whole 8 months...

Wish I wasnt hungry though as Ive already put on over 3 stone and I dont want to put on any more!!!

Decaff coffee with lots of milk sounds like a great idea!
