When the Hunger strikes!

[ChocolateC]

Okay, tell me if you think this is crazy: in both my pregnancies (this is my 2nd), I've had the opposite of morning sickness. Yes, that's right. It's The Hunger.
When the hunger strikes, I could eat everything in the house. Sometimes I wake up at 5 a.m. feeling it. I restrain myself from getting up, but still, I feel it. In my office in the mid-afternoon (after a normal lunch at noon), I get it. I feel like I could eat a whole new lunch.
I'm relatively slim so I'm not worried so much about weight but I just haven't heard of anyone else having this! Whenever other women say "I felt sick and ate half a cracker for breakfast" I just laugh. I'm glad to avoid the morning sickness but oh, man, I don't want to gain THAT much weight right away!!
Has anyone else had this?

I did with my first! I'd get up at 4am and eat cheese & crackers this time, I've lost 14lbs for nausea and sickness. I'd rather have the first one lol.

I feel nauseus all day but when I suddenly get that hungry pang u I just have to eat whatever's on my mind and in so mean as I don't even want to share or let anyone diaturb me. I guess this is how men usually feel when they get hungry!!

Lucky you! I haven't quite hit the morning sickness stage yet but I can tell it's coming and won't be good. I do have a bottomless pit for a stomach though, this past week especially. I struggle to not eat all the groceries I buy in one day. I'd definitely prefer that problem over puking up everything I eat!

Yeah, I'd rather have The Hunger than be puking all the time, but it seems like nobody talks about it and it's kind of a rare thing. I have to start being really careful what food I have lying around so I don't eat a plate of cookies all at once.
Glad that some of you ladies feel the same!

This is me exactly...I can't stop eating. Last night my husband ordered a dinner for two and brought it home thinking I could have leftovers today. Well, it was all gone within 10 min lol
