i went out this afternoon to run a few errands.  while i was waiting in line to pay at one of the stores, i suddenly got very hot and lightheaded.  i began feeling weak in my knees and my heart started beating really fast.  out of nowhere, hunger hit me and i started shaking, literally.  for all of my friends out there who are pregnant (and there are many!), this is a reminder to keep snacks with you AT ALL TIMES!  i don't think hunger has hit me like it did this afternoon any other time during my pregnancy.  i felt like i was going to faint right there at the checkstand.  fortunately, there was a rack of candy bars within arms reach.  now i appreciate the slogan for snickers candy bars..."hungry?  grab a snickers."  i did so gladly!

Yes, I can relate! Just wait until you start nursing! :-) The recommendation is 300 extra calories when you are pregnant and 500 calories when you are nursing!
