So it’s true
When I was pregnant (and over the morning sickness) I thought there was no way I was really that hungry all the time. I had to be imagining it. I kept track of my weight and as long as I wasn’t gaining too much I kept following my hunger pains and cravings – eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. But I never really bought into the fact that the pregnancy was making me that hungry.
Then I gave birth.
It all went away. Now I couldn’t care less what I eat. I just grab something and keep going. I don’t crave anything and I don’t wake up hungry in the middle of the night. I could actually eat 3 good meals a day and be satisfied.
So I guess it’s true. You really do have hunger and cravings during pregnancy. I do think I could have indulged a bit more though. Drats.
Maybe next time…

as your body has feeding demands for asher you may find periods of extreme hunger. breastfeeding really took it out of me at times. not really with cravings, but just sudden extreme hunger. i would crave steak when i was pregnant, i was slightly anemic. and when i breastfed i would have the same thing on occasion, but more than anything i just needed to have SOMETHING in my belly.
