Is okay to ignore hunger while pregnant?

Question

Im the type of person who won't get up to have something to eat no matter how much I'm starving!  Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if it's okay to just ignore it for the night!  For goodness sake I just ate a few hours ago!

Answer

An empty stomach while pregnant can make you feel sick. I was like that. I had to eat every 4 hours no joke, wether getting a sandwhich or something to snack on. Always had to carry mints. If I ignored it I felt worse and worse and then threw up until I did eat.

Answer

If you're that hungry i would at least get some fruit maybe. Or try drinking a glass if water. Some people confuse being hungry with not drinking enough water.

Answer

I can't ignore being hungry but I have wondered this if I cant get something to eat because I'm at work or. whatever.
Hit me really bad last night though. Had my dinner and then right before I went to bed I was ravenous again. I'm just trying my best to eat healthily while I'm stuffing my face lol.

Answer

For the first time I had that issue today at 5am. I kept tossing and turning trying to ignore it. And then suddenly I had this desperate urge. So I got up and had a bowl of Cheerios.

Answer

If I'm asleep and wake up hungry I can do instant oatmeal and go back to sleep, otherwise I have to eat every 2-3 hours or I get so hungry I get nauseated then throw up what I actually eat. Which makes me sad because I put my heart and soul into what I cook lol

Answer

I'm having to eat every couple of hours. I was having really bad nausea and the last thing I even thought about doing was eating. But I made myself eat on one occasion and felt instantly better. So have been having more smaller meals/snacks through out the day. Ginger biscuits are great for nausea.

Answer

I'm hypoglycemic but before when I didn't know and I was pregnant with my son I didn't eat all the time because I felt like three meals was enough until I felt lightheaded and I called my doctor and she said I should've been eating up to 6 smaller meals a day.

Answer

Hahaha that's how it is! You good if you can ignore it! I've tried and I can't lol

Answer

I wonder the same thing I'm not a big eater and it makes me feel bad am I hurting the baby by not eating?

Answer

Drink a cup of water and if yours still hungry grab a tablespoon of peanut butter :)
