waking up feeling like your starving??

[1plus1equals3]

Hey guys, Im 33wks&4days pregnant. when OH wakes up to go to work, I wake up too (like usual), but now every morning I wake up feeling like i havnt ate anything in weeks!! Im starving, my belly is burning and I have to get up right away and eat something. And i hate it!! I usually wake up with OH and go back to sleep after he leaves. But now I cant fall back asleep, because once i eat something, im wide awake... I've tried eating right before bed thinking this would help, but nooooo.. lol.

Anyone else getting this?? Is it normal to be EXTRA hungry later in pregnancy?

Happens to me sometimes. I try to eat a snack right before bed to keep it from happening

 

[Eskimobabys]

yup the same thing happens to me! my DH wakes up @4:30am and i wake up and im hungry! sometimes i can fall back to sleep sometimes i gotta get something lol

Same here! I've been up since 4......I've had something to eat but now can't go back to sleep! I'll try again at about 7!

I had a bag of chips before bed the other night AFTER chili and rice for tea and still woke up starving!

Oh yes! I thought it was just me! When I wake up I have to eat something.....and quick! Its like I have to grab at anything thats available to stop the crave! Even though I feel starving if i just snack on a couple of rich tea biscuits im fine after!
Although I did wake up at 2.20am this morning and go back to bed at 2.40 craving jam on toast! lol. Pregnancy ay! :-D I think its perfectly normal though! hehehe

ummm it's still happening to me and has been for weeks. i have taken to try and chug milk and run back to bed. for some reason i can sleep SO good during the day or when it's time for me to go to work. but like right now, i should be in bed, i'm wide awake! and thinking about grilled cheese sandwiches.

This is probably no help, and Im sorry for tri-jumping, but this is how I knew I was pregnant. I felt like that every morning and just knew I was pregnant. It stopped but has been happening again lately, and I am only 19+3. Probably just one of the joys of pregnancy lol!!

Yep I have had this for weeks and the most annoying thing is not being able to get back to sleep after although if I have been really tired I have managed 1/2 hrs more but thats it....someone suggested that eating a banana at bedtime might curb your morning hunger but I didnt try it yet x

 

[hedgewitch]

so glad this was posted hehe began to think it was just me, i have never ever been a big eater but this pg i have gained 2 stone and was worried about me gaining much more but i can't help but eat, i am hungry all the time, got worse about 30 weeks where i actually have begun to get up in the night, snook downstairs at 4am the other morning and then sat in the dark eating mini chocolate donuts, felt so wrong raiding the fridge at that time of the day bit oh so right too lol!!!xx

DEFINITELY! For me its in fits and starts and I assume its when bubs is growing. Ive been up since 3am - I stared at the ceiling for an hour and a half before FINALLY giving in and goin to get some cereal at 4.30... I should hv done it sooner, I actually fell asleep after! Too bad Linds was up at 6.15 already I remember this happening with Lindsey too so I think its pretty normal! I just wish the hunger was there during the DAY and not in the middle of the night disrupting my sleep!!

Yes i have had it terrible, waking up sometimes at 3am and 5am, with the need to get up and eat, iv actualy gone down and gt the pan out making porridge at 3am lol, only way i find i can sleep through is by having like a third tea but smaller, like a pie etc then supper, going to bed full will allow you to sleep through, we have to eat more at this stage that is why our body craves more, porridge readybrek works wonders to cos it blows up in your tummy, make it with milk though. There si no way i can sleep in im up at 7:30 the latest its like we are the babies walking up for the feeds lol, gets us rdy i suppose

 

[Dragonfly]

yeah this is when I start eating like a pig and i had to get up this morning as I was so hungry. I have two breakfasts sometimes.

 

[Sharl]

OMG!! I know this feeling. Crunchy nut cornflakes have been my saviour!

woke up at half 3 the other morning and DH was awake so I asked if he wanted some to ... so we both sat in bed eating cornflakes and watching trashy night time TV

not so bad but then when I get up for work I have breakfast aswell

 

[brunettebimbo]

I had breakfast at 4am and then breakfast at 10am....all this talk of cereal is making me hungry again!

 

[kellis]

my biggest problem throughout this pregnancy has been lack of appetite and inability to eat, i've lost so much weight and weigh less now than before i was pregnant but the last couple of weeks i am ravenous!! I wake up starving and just proceed to stuff my face for the rest of the day, it's ridiculous!!

 

[1plus1equals3]

Lol, thank god i'm not the only one!!!
This morning I woke up at 4am, ate the biggest bowl of cereal ever, then woke up with OH again at 6 and had a nutty bar, then i slept in till 11 and woke up starving again!! Sooo, i just finished off my 2nd HUGE bowl of cereal.
I also had a dream that i drank all the orange juice out of my pillow then OH wouldnt let me drink his. lol, i love pregnancy dreams.
Too bad i didnt have any orange juice or im sure i would have chugged the whole bottle!!

 

[julietz]

Lol i had one last night that my partner ordered himself a large plate of special fried rice and sat there eating it all to himself, i was gobsmacked and went mad at him for not getting me some ha ha i hated him until i woke up and realised it was a dream.

 

[1plus1equals3]

lol, i love these crazy dreams.
I have to call my mom right away after i wake up just to tell her about my dreams.
I wish that I could record them and watch them later!!! Except the bad ones (OH cheating, or killers chasing me)
