If that does happen, try eating smaller meals throughout the day, not 3 big ones. This way your spreading it all out and there's less chance you'll be finding yourself hungry all the time...course you are pregnant, so you'll be getting cravings and hungry more than before.
I usually broke up my meals, ate a bit of my breakfast, finished it later, than a little bit later had lunch did the same, had the rest for a snack, fruit sand yogurt ended up being snacks if I didn't want the rest of whatever meal it was. Plus I ended up being more thirsty than anything else, So I was hungry but it ended up being I was thirsty...if that some how makes any sense..
You should eat when you hungry, just don't over do it, and if you do, make sure you've done it with something healthy so you don't feel the guilt of it later. Now's not the time to be eating fast food or snaking on sweets, make sure you watch out for that. The better you eat, the better your baby will grow and you won't be bulking up on bad fat. Instead you'll have been gaining healthy weight and weight that comes off easier than the bad stuff. It's still not so easy, but it is easier with better eating habits.
I'm on my 3rd, due in april and I can't get enough of cold drinks mostly flavored tea. That and..well popcorn, but hey you have your weakness. Alright cheesecake too but it was only that one time!
Congrats!
Hey try some dry cereal too, small little healthy snacks help out alot!

Hell yeah! LOL Im just kidding >> Just cos ur pregnant doesnt mean that you MUST eat for two thats an old wives tail but its entirely up to you hun >> I am 28wks pregnant and was never a big eater (i couldnt even finish a kids happy meal!) but all that has changed!! I actually wake up early in the morning with hunger pains so i eat >> I decided that i will eat when my tummy tells me too if you know that ur not hungry then just dont eat! Everyone tells me i shouldnt eat so much as the punds will be hard to get rid of after pregnancy but you know wot >> i will deal with that when the time comes! For now im just gonna enjoy being able to feed on large burgers/fries and chinese takeouts etc... LOL

It was recommend to me to eat 6 small meals a day. I was hungry all the time. I wish I would listened to others. I gained 60 lbs the first time. Guess what? My baby didn't weigh 60#'s. You have to loose it, and that sucks. Make some smart choices. Raw veggies? Air popped Pop corn.

the same thing was happening to me and I ate small snacks all the time. It really helps because then your stomach doesn't feel awful--good luck with that and yes eat a small ammount of something mayby a fruit.

Yes, you are supposed to gain some weight. It is most important to eat healthy and get vitamins.

Small snacks, you ARE eating for two...(or three!). Don't go all out but keep some crackers or such in your purse.
