late night hunger?

How do you ladies cope with late night hunger? I can't eat during the day, I get physically sick, but at night it's like my body is trying to make up for what I've missed during the day. And also, I can't eat meat either with my pregnancy, because it triggers my morning sickness so bad. So the only protein option I have is nuts because I won't eat eggs either lol

*hugs* Your pregnancy reminds me of my first lol. I was sick through the whole thing but at night - from Dec til I had my daughter Jan 14 - I craved popciles. And not just any kind - the pop ice stuff and they had to be red or pink. Anything else I refused them lol.

Im not really sure what to tell you hun except all you can do is eat when hungry and whatever you can keep down should be fine. Eventually your nonsick days will come - hopefully.

The only thing I could keep down the whole month of my morning sickness was a banana milkshake. Nothing else worked for me. I tried peppermint, preggie pops, ginger ale, sprite, crackers, and anything else u could think of. I lost 20 lbs and I didn't start gaining weight til I was 24-28 weeks. I'm 31 weeks now.

Oatmeal is high in protein! Peanut butter and almonds as well. Dried cranberries are good for energy. Try eating a trail mix as well.... And ignore people about the weight comments. I only gained 4 pounds this last pregnancy.... My little girl was born healthy and at 6.15!

See if your doc can give you some anti-nausea meds. I lost my appetite with both pregnancies , I tried to drink a meal supplement most days. Like strawberry Ensure.

Obviously it's by eating. But I'm not going to eat so much food in one sitting, that's just unhealthy.
