feeling worry and guilty

So I am currently 38w3d and for the past 2 to 3 weeks I started eating 2 times a day I would get full very fast or sometimes just with one time and maybe fruits but I am feeling fat as the fact that since yesterday I have been eating a lot regular meals like 3 times a day and I don't get full so I eat sweets , snacks, and I go to the kitchen trying to find anything to eat because I feel I still wanna munch something I am very worry that I gain extra weight so far the weight I have gain is normal but I don't want any extra..I was actually taking care of myself and eating healthy bcuz I didn't wanna pack extra weight and I am still about 10 days away for my baby to be here ...what can I do ladies? ..today I have eaten more than yesterday why is my appetite chabging ?:(

Honestly I eat whatever my heart desires pizza, ice cream, candy. I've always been like this even before pregnancy. Obviously everyone is different but I've only gained about 40 lbs and I've always been tiny.

It's pretty insane that I've gained 40 lbs and I've never weighed this much but I'd do it all over for my son

Typically in a normal healthy pregnancy you'll gain 35-45 pounds so don't worry

I wouldn't worry. I was forever hungry in the last 3 weeks with my son. In the last month whatever you eat also puts fat on your baby. My son was born weighing 9lb2oz. All the weight you put on now will just melt away. Don't worry :)

Thanks but almost all my pregnancy I have been eating more healthy foods than unhealthy and yesterday I drank soda, today I did again,chips, and I was eating marshmallows and ice cream and almost my whole pregnancy I stop eating this  type of unhealthy foods and that's why I worry bcuz this isn't healthy and before intead of doing that I would have healthy snacks like peanuts,tuna sandwiches, fruits, vegetables etc...I am mad at myself why is this change..

I keep cut fresh veggies in a Tupperware container in my fridge,so when the snack monster makes her hourly appearance, they're easier to get to and nosh on than the naughty snacks. I also make my husband hide the REALLY naughty snacks like cookies and candy, so I have to really think about it and ask him to get me a serving if thats what I really want. He gets a kick out of being the cake guardian.

Your pregnant. I use to eat two times a day breakfast and lunch maybe dinner if I was up late. I now eat almost every hour or every other hour. Sure I've gained 30 pounds but your carrying another human in you. And they take everything from you so just as food is healthy for the baby it's healthy for you too. Just eat smaller meals and healthier meals. The healthier you eat the less hungry you feel. Keep healthy snacks on hand. Eat peanut butter and fruit or just a peanut butter sandwich filling and it has tons of protein
