Geez, I can't stop eating! I'm eating every 1 1/2 hours. I hope this is normal because I don't want to be gaining more than I should. I feel guilty enough that I haven't even worked out since I became pregnant!

 

When did you girls notice your appetite increase?

I started last week, so at nine weeks. All of a sudden I was hungry all the time.

I've had to eat every 1.5-2 hours because of "morning" sickness. But now that that is over (knocking on wood) I was fine for about 3 days with my normal eating schedule, and now i have to eat constantly again! I just try to make them healthier snacks. since you are only supposed to eat 300 extra cals a day, I try to keep that in mind.

So, for my first breakfast (7am) i have two pieces of toast and a half a glass of milk. Second breakfast (9:30) I have a bowl of fruit and a hard boiled egg (I only eat the white). Then for elevensies (which today is at 10:30!) i eat a 100 calorie pack or a treat (today is banana nut bread). Then I'll have lunch. Then I'm usually good from lunch until dinner... but I sometimes need a 3pm snack so i try to eat another type of 100 calorie pack or a banana or something simple.

Being hungry all the time does not change after you have them and you are bfing! I swear I feel hungier now then I did when I was pregnant!

Ha ha, you sound like me! I don't have morning sickness anymore (sometimes a bit in the evenings still), but my appetite has sky-rocketed so I'm back to eating my little meals and snacks all day long.
Example- this was my intake yesterday:

7:00a piece of toast
8:00a whole wheat bagel and OJ
9:30a handful of almonds and cashews
11:00 nectarine
12:00 chicken breast and mashed potatoes (frozen food)
1:30 no-sugar jello cup
2:30 string cheese
4:00 apple
5:00 a lot of chips and salsa (i'm obsessed I have this everyday!)
6:30 vegeterian sausage patty with cheese and whole wheat english muffin ( i love eating breakfast at night)
7:30 brownie (couldn't resist)
9:00 cottage cheese and some crackers
And I love water, so I drink tons of it through out the day

So, I hope this doesn't sound excessive, because this has been the standard eating schedule I have had now.
