Sooooooo hungry

[lisaandshaun]

So I have just reached the third trimester and am so hungry all the time it's silly, has anyone else experienced this?

I am also interested to see how much weight (if people care to share) they have put on so far.

Thanks

I am hungry quite often, but can't eat a lot. I tend to snack. My meal portions are probably a third of what they were per-pregnancy.

I have only put on 2kg this pregnancy so far but I need to be careful as i am already overweight.

i am glad i am not alone. I am worried though because i started out weighing 104kg and at the obstetricians office yesterday his scales said i was 100.2kgs. he didnt seen concerned when i told him i had lost weight. and well done on the 2kgs.

Sounds like you are doing really well. As long as you are feeling good and eating when you are hungry then don't be concerned.

With my first pregnancy, the day after having DD, the scales were 5kg lower than my pre-pregnancy weight! I was pleasantly surprised as I had still eaten quite well when pregnant, I suppose I was just eating a heallthier more balanced diet while pregnant.

I'm always hungry! I've put on 9-10kg so far. I'm actually a bit concerned as I was at the 10kg mark around a month or go and then lost a bit when I got sick and haven't really put much back on since.

I have just eaten a big bowl of muesli with bran and extra coconut in it. I have put on 9 kg so far at 35 wks. I have a very healthy appetite even when not pregnant! I expect i will put on about 12 kg all up that is what i have done for all previous pregnancies...

I tend not to worry about it. I find I eat stacks in the first trimester, but can only stomach potato and fried things for some weird reason.

Then i hardly eat during the 2nd tri. Then in the third tri I get hungry again but like PP said I just snack, occasionally I'll eat a whole meal of something not often.

Just listen to your body, it knows what to do

I'm starting to eat small meals more regularly. I seem to not be able to eat 3 meals because, it feels like its sitting just below my throat!

So far I've put on 4kgs at 26weeks, total is 68.5kgs. I hadn't lost the extra 3kgs from the previous pregnancy. I'm normally 58-62kgs.

I was sort of fortunate in that I had evening sickness, so I was still able to eat brekky and lunch.
