I'm 31 weeks pregnant with our first child. All the sudden, I'm eating constantly, I'm always hungry! And I'm so tired and weak just after walking across the house. I worry that something isn't right. Can someone please vouch for these crazy feelings. I still have such a ways to go it seems impossible to feel this way already. I'd love to hear about your experiences.

BTW- So far, everything is going perfectly with the pregnancy. The doc says on paper I look good and I haven't felt bad until really recently.

First, I am jealous you are farther along then me (25wks):0) Second, I felt that same way with my 1st PG. Got out of breath walking to the mailbox. DH would put a little seat out in the yard for me so I could water my flowers. I wouldn't be concerned

its amazing how when you hit the trimester changes how immediate it is. Your in the third trimester now and stuff changes sooo drastically. The baby is putting on weight now not just developing and is probally the cause for the increased appitite. I to now 30 weeks am starving most the time and yet toooo tired to get up and do anything about it. My hubby is gone til dec 11, and its me and my 5 year old daughter. I have encouraged her to learn the art of sandwhich making lol... she loves to make sandwhiches and I love that she can do it too... I really play up how much better hers taste then mine and she gets akick out of it. She will even ask me randomly if the baby is hungry and if she should make me something to eat lmao.

hehe :P I am tempted to go get our microwave out of storage. We have one but its above the stove. There is no way she could ever safely reach it. It would be sooooo nice if she could pop that frozen pizza (yes she finds ways to reach the freezer lol) in the microwave for me ;p I have an online friend whos daughter is a tad older then my daughter who recently learned how to make the frozen pizza.

Sometimes I feel guilty when my aughter makes me food at a mere age of 5 but then I just remind myself im on bed rest and get over it lol.

You shouldn't feel guilty at all! It's genius plus kids that age LOVE helping out with the development of their little brother and sister. I'm kinda jealous- my neice will sing to "George" as she affectionately calls him but she's only 3 and I don't think I'd trust eating anything she'd make anyway! All the best to you:)
