WHY AM I STARVING

Question

ok girls. I’m almost 28 weeks pregnant. Lately, I’m just constantly starving. I’m trying to make sure I eat healthy snacks, and having filling foods for meals, but it’s so frustrating!!! I don’t weigh myself at home, but at 24 weeks I had gained 9lbs. I’m worried that when I go for my appointment next week I’ll have gained a ton of weight. 
Any advise? Here are some pictures of me now vs 16 weeks.

Answer

Pshh I have gained 5 lbs every 3 weeks starting at 15/16 weeks ( checked at my doctors appt) ... I’m 27 weeks now and I have gained almost  30 lbs total 😫 I can’t stop eating either. 3rd trimester is when you gain the most too! But you look great! Still tiny. My doctor said I could afford the weight ( from 113 to 140lbs)

Answer

I hadn’t gained any weight at 16weeks and now I’ve gained about 20! My midwives aren’t worried at all, this kid is measuring ahead and we are both doing great! 12 weeks to go, due May 25th- but if the baby keeps measuring ahead maybe sooner :)

28 weeks tomorrow and I’ll take a new picture in the morning :)

Answer

My doc said during third trimester is when you gain the most weight because that’s when baby starts growing and keeping weight. He says it’s normal to gain 1-2 pounds every week after 31 weeks. So you’re getting close to that point!
