I don't mini wheats are fattening anyway, but if your body is hungry, feed it. The baby needs it! I usually eat something before I go to bed, cos if I don't my stomach revolts in the morning. Last night I ate a cereal bar.

I'm going to have to say yes on this one. I eat cereal late at night too and before pregnancy I NEVER ate late at night and managed to stay thin and my eating late at night caused me to gain ALOT of excess weight I prolly don't need!

Eating late at night when you're not pregnant puts weight on, so it will happen during pregnancy too.
This doesn't mean you should eat late at night while you're pregnant, your baby probably needs it.

If you're NOT preggas than you shouldn't eat within 3 hours of going to bed.

I would still eat late at night, something healthy and not as fattening maybe? LOL. I should follow my own advice. I KNOW I'm going to lose this weight so I'm not too worried as to how much I weigh.

I remember even though I had a big dinner I was still starving at night and sometimes in the middle of the night I'd wake up hungry. Hey if my baby needs it why not?

It depends. If you only have a small dinner, than you just finish it up later. But if the food at night is extra, than you definetely put it on top of it.

If your hungry during the night...eat, but eat something that is good for you and not fattening. Mini wheats is good.
