Tell me about MOTN hunger

[isabel]

This is normal, yes? Last night and tonight I've woken up a few hours after going to bed. Last night, I knew it was hunger, so I ate and was able to go back to sleep. Tonight, I couldn't decide if I was hungry or needed to throw up. I decided I was hungry, so I ate two cheese sticks. Now DH is at the store getting milk so I can have cereal. This fucking sucks. I hate being hungry.

Also, TMI, I'm apparently very constipated and haven't had a BM in two days, so I'm wondering if this is a contributing factor in some way.

I had to keep granola bars in my bedside table when pg with ds1 because I would wake up starving.

It real and it can suck. Hope you enjoy your cereal!

When I was pregnant with DS I always woke up hungry in the MOTN. It was either eat or be sick. Now I'm up with heartburn with baby number two, I'd rather be hungry.

If I woke up at night, I was hungry and had to eat something ( a yogurt or an applesauce would be enough to get me back to sleep). It was worse when I was breastfeeding and would be woken up all night long. I would want a little snack throughout the night

Yes. I try to stuff myself before bed but I still wake up around 3 am to pee and I am starving and can't fall back asleep unless I eat something. I've been having smoothies (the pre-made kind) or a breakfast shake because I'm too tired for much else. It usually does the trick.

When I was pregnant with ds2 it seemed like I was eating constantly, including midnight snacks.

[potatopie]

yup. bowl of cereal once a night when pregnant.

when I was breastfeeding, I ate lactation cookies like mad through the night and day. those things saved me since they were filling, quick, and easy to eat one handed.

i don't know far along you are, but towards the end i had to keep food on my nightstand because i woke up SO hungry.

I've woken up starving at night with both of my pregnancies. And while BFing.

[sjh722]

I have had this with both pregnancies and while nursing. I wake up shaky and absolutely starving.

Colace also helps if you're constipated.

[AlpineSlide]

I was constipated like no other when i was pregnant. take colace!

I kept crackers on my nightstand for snacks.

[stacyb1983]

This happened to me during both of my pregnancies. I ate a lot of fruit, cheese, cereal with milk in the motn.

[Jalapeñomel]

The ravenous hunger hit me when I had the baby and breastfeeding.

[isabel]

I finally pooped today! Hooray! I will keep taking colace. Yes, I will.

I'll have to start keeping stuff by the bed. Thanks for the feedback.

I have woken up with stomach rumbles from hunger (after eating a 9 PM snack) at 130 AM or 3:00 AM. I'm 34 wks - roll with it!

I usually do a pb sandwich or toast or cereal in MOTN.
