19 weeks - SUPER hungry!

[Gorran]

Anyone else?! My appetite has gone through the roof the last couple of days, I'm really trying to eat healthily and not go crazy but I am genuinely hungry!

Hi, yes I am the same. I have been waking up at around 4am absolutely ravenous. Not just a little bit hungry, but so hungry I could eat my own arm. I tend to come downstairs for a bowl of cereal (or two) and then go back to bed and sleep until I wake up for 'normal' breakfast. Before I was pregnant I would often skip breakfast, and I wouldn't miss it in terms of feeling hungry, but this is a real physical need! 21+6 now, but it started about the same as you, 19ish weeks.

Glad it's not just me! This is no.3 for me and I don't remember it happening before but I'm sure it did. I think the cold weather also isn't helping!

Me too although I'm only 14 weeks tomorrow! Still feeling nauseous too a lot of the time, yet just want to eat and eat at certain times during the day! Also had the 5am munchies and try to put it off until I get up but sometimes I just have to give in! I'll be the size if a house by the time I give birth at this rate!!

I'm 22 weeks and often feel super hungry. Recently I noticed when it does get to that really desperate point, no matter how much I eat to fill up, I am non-functional for the rest of the day, just no energy at all. Basically two or three oatcakes, or similar (definitely needs to be carbs), as soon as I start feeling a niggle does the trick for me and then I can get on with things.

I was ravenous at a similar time - between 16 and 24 weeks. Breakfast was a big bowl of cereal, plus yoghurt and fruit - followed by a crumpet and peanut butter or cheese and crackers less than 2hrs later! It's eased off now (26 weeks) but I still race downstairs for breakfast and clear my plate at every meal!
