How hungry were/are you?

Question

How hungry are/were you during your pregnancy and how often did you eat?

Answer 1

With my first I was ate normally for a while, then around 28 weeks or so I was constantly hungry. I tried to eat healthy but it was hard.
This one I am only 6 weeks and I want to eat everything in site. I try to restrain myself as I don't want to gain 100 lbs., but it has been extremely difficult so far. I have been trying to eat a lot of salads, but I really have just been craving crap food.

Answer 2

it seems like im always hungry. in the beginning i would eat all day, usually 6 or 7 small meals, a bunch of small meals are better for the baby rather than to eat 2 or 3 big meals. coming to the end of my pregnancy my stomach is so hard all the time so i dont eat as much. it doesnt seem like im as hungry as much either. when i do eat i can only eat a little bit at a time because it feels like i cant breath afterwards if i eat alot.

Answer 3

This depended on the stage of my pregnancies. In the begining I was too sick to think about food, but after about 4-5 months I stayed hungry most of the time so I ate small healthy snacks several times a day. Probably 8-10 times a day!

Answer 4

I am not much more hungry than before... However, earlier in my pregnancy, I was really really hungry all of the time when I wasn't sick. Now I am 6 months and things have pretty much gone back to normal. I only eat a little more than I did before.

Answer 5

I am hungry all of the time, even at the beginning when I'm sick.

I usually eat every 2 hours, sometimes more often, and have lots to drink throughout the day as well.

My pregnancy book tells me to eat "six small meals a day." Haha, it's more like 10 or 12!

Answer 6

That varied for me all through out my pregnancy. The first 2 months I ate normal amounts of food.
Seems like just finding out you are preggars will make you hungry.
During months 3-5 I ate like there was no tomorrow. I'd say at least 4 big meals a day, plus snacks. That was when the cravings hit and they hit me hard!
In the last months I couldn't eat as much because there is seriously no room for it. My hunger was the same as it was in the 3-5 months so I just ate smaller amounts more often. Like 6 small meals a day. Plus snacks!!
The important thing is that you eat things that are good for you and your baby and that you follow your doctor's instructions and suggestions.

Answer 7

Starving all the time! So I eat whenever I feel like it. I eat 3 square meals but then again I snack inbetween. I've been told to try 6 small meals instead to see if that will help. I wake up at 3 am and want to eat it's so constant I am sick of food! I am only 3 months pregnant. Lol. Besides that I eat healthy snacks --veggies, fruits, grains, lots of water and some juice.

Answer 8

With my first pregnancy I ate at least every 2 hours during the day and at night I wouldnt eat but I would wake up starving. With the current pregnancy I am the same so far.

Answer 9

Not hungry at all, I can only have 1 full meal a day or I am sick. Big change from my last pregnancy where I ate everything in sight.

Answer 10

OMG, it seems like I'm hungry all the time. I'm 35 weeks now, and I get full really fast (I feel "over-crowded" right now as it is 'cause I'm big as a house - lol), but I'm hungry all the time. And when I'm hungry, it's a voracious hunger - like I gotta eat NOW!
I eat a lot of small meals and snacks throughout the day - I pretty much graze throughout the day! :-)

Good times! :-)
