29w fuller easier and lasting looonger...anyone else? Hope baby is getting enough!

[sweetangel7]

So, for the last three days, I have been getting fuller much faster and it is lasting much longer.  I'm assuming that things are just getting much more cramped in there and that this is normal (is it?)  

I've basically been skipping either lunch or dinner and having a late lunch because I am still hungry from my usual breakfast (an English muffin, an egg, a piece of Canadian bacon and usually a banana or an orange but lately I've been too full for my fruit so I eat it midmorning)  BUT then I'm too full for dinner so I try to have a small snack.  

I'm just worried that baby isn't getting enough.  I'm also worried because I haven't been drinking nearly as much water because my stomach is full and the water is like pushing it to the edge and I almost feel so full I could be sick...

What do you ladies think?

Thanks!

I actually read, just the other day infact, that we only need about 300 extra calories per day when we are pregnant, so you should be fine.  Your body knows what you need and when you need it.

Yeah it's normal.  trust you're body.  If your baby needed more you would feel hungry all the time.  I agree with the first poster, just try and eat small meals throughout the day and sip on your water as best you can!  Sounds like you're doing a great job trying to be healthy for your baby!! Good luck!

Well I'm 26 weeks, and I am just now to the point where I want to eat EVERYTHING all day long! So I hope at 29 weeks it slows down! or I will be bigger than a house!

Trust me baby get's what it needs first, so I wouldn't worry about that! If she/he was hungry your body would tell you! :)

It's normal!  It's just cause everything is cramped, and as long and your able to have a small snack every few hours baby is getting enough!  Also, at this point everything is moving slower through your intestines.  Very normal!

YAY for 29w!!!
