Honestly i feel hungry like every 2 hours these days, even after a full meal im looking for snacks. Im in my second trimester. Is it the baby or just hormones doing this? Curious why it happens so much.
I felt guilty eating so much in the beginning, like is this too much. But its hormones and baby's growth, totally natural. Just listen to ur body and dont skip meals.
My doc explained it nicely, the baby is growing and ur body needs more energy plus blood volume increases, so hunger goes up. She said eat small frequent meals instead of 3 big ones, keeps the hunger and acidity both in check.
Oh the hunger is real yaar. I keep nuts and fruit handy all the time. Its just ur body needing more fuel, just try to pick filling healthy stuff so u dont feel hungry again in 1 hour.
Hunger is normal but just be a little mindful what u snack on. I had sugar issues so my doc told me to fill up on protein and fiber instead of sweet stuff. Keeps u full longer too.
Because there's a tiny tenant inside ordering food 24x7 haha. Honestly the hunger in 2nd trimester was unreal for me, I was raiding the fridge at 2am. Totally normal, ur body is just doing extra work.
