Starving insomniac

Brittany • Labor & Delivery RN. Mom to a beautiful 10yo girl. Happily married. Expecting #2 Dec. 2020 🤰🏼

Anyone else up with me?!

I’m laying in bed trying to keep myself IN the bed because if I get out of bed...I’m going straight to the kitchen. And I can’t go back to sleep either. I fell asleep around midnight and woke up at 2 to go pee. And now I’m wide awake...starving.

I’m hungry. Like all the damn time. When I’m working (night shift nurse) I’m eating something every 2 hours. I’m trying to make sure at least 50-60% of what I put in my mouth is healthy, on top of drinking a ton of water to maybe help fill me up.

I don’t want to be a whale during this pregnancy. It has been 10 years since I’ve been pregnant and I know my almost 30 year old body probably won’t handle this pregnancy the way my 19 year old body did. But mannnnn. I’m just always so freaking hungry. Who else feels like a hungry hungry hippo??
