Re: What's up with this hunger!?!?!?!

If you feel hungry, by all means eat. I agree with your husband -- the baby

needs sustenance. When I was pregnant with my three year old, I was taking

in something every 90 minutes. Be it a glass of milk or chunk of cheese or

beef jerky. I ate something. Yes i gained weight -- 18 pounds. But I lost it

all afterwards. You need to listen to your body -- especially during

pregnancy. Do not worry about how you are gaining or eating at this

juncture. Just listen to your body. Good luck to you!

Thanks for answering that question. I have been feeling the same thing. I have

low blood sugar and I don't know if that's what's causing the hunger or what,

but I sure feel it! I'm not too worried about gaining weight, I'm worried about

the eating habits I am creating now. I feel like you I have to eat something

every hour and a half or I am feeling bad. I'm also very nauseous and eating

something seems to help. I just worry will I keep these bad habits after I have

the baby...

My blood sugar used to plummet as well. When I did the blood fast test it

actually went down after I ate! As for the eating habits, try to choose

healthy foods and eat when you are hungry (or weak). If you keep with that

pattern and continue eating only when your body needs it then you will be

able to resume doing the same afterwards.
