Midnight munchies?

I’m not far from due date now and last two nights have woken up in middle of night getting progressively hungrier until I’ve had to go and get some food!

Not quite midnight, last night woke at 2.30 and eventually came downstairs at about 4 - this morning 4.30 and now eating my Weetabix 😋

I don’t want to get into the cycle of my body expecting food at this time but.. I wake up so hungry!

Anybody else?

I've been awake since just after 3 and contemplating eating the cream eggs I know are in the fridge so at least yours is healthy!

Pregnancy does weird things 😂

Only because I’ve already eaten the Easter Egg a relative gave me

Hope you get some sleep at some point!

Haha! OP I write this having just had to get out of bed at 4.30 (after lying awake starving since 3.30) to eat a bowl of cereal! I'm only 5 months pregnant but I start feeling so sick when I get hungry and I couldn't get back to sleep! I am the sort of person who has to eat little and often anyway so maybe pregnancy is making this worse. I like to think all these midnight wakings for food are just preparing us for all the feeds baby will need during the night!
