I have the Hunger!

Well I'm 6+6 and have the most insatiable hunger. If I don't eat every 2 hrs then I have a massive blood sugar crash and feel very sick very quick. I had this with my DS but I don't remember it being so bad. I can't describe how hungry I feel. Please tell me I'm not alone?

Me too. I am 6 +4weeks. I am generally a pie woman though, always on a diet and I honestly don't know if i'm just trying to justify eating . Today i snacked healthily but really got very hungry very quickly. Obviously a healthy pregnancy is the most importNt thing.... But i am a little at those people whose symptoms are to go off food!!

Me too! I'm 9 weeks and this is the only sickness I am getting really (which i find a bit worrying but that's another story). I've found the best way to deal with it is to stuff my face all day long - not good for the weight! Its that kind of, so hungry I feel sick feeling, but only about 20 mins after I've just eaten something - how can I be so hungry?!

Oh god. I was a bloody Hoover. It was all-consuming, soul-destroying hunger. Don't worry, it passes!

So looks like we are in the minority ladies
I only just finished losing my baby weight from the first time round but looks like a might put it back on within the next few weeks the way I'm going!

Awful gut wrenching hunger all the time ugh!
You have my sympathy!

That happened to me too! I had to eat ALL THE TIME from about 6 weeks through to 10 weeks. I'm 11 weeks now and the insatiable hunger has receded (my bum has grown though )...

I had this with ds i just stuffed my face with mostly healthy food - lucky i like it anyway - but from 5 to 7 months i ate donuts and chippy teas/takeaways most days i put on under 2 syone the whole pregnancy and ds was 8lb 12 with a massive placenta so eat away

This time around i could barely eat until 16 weeks and even now at 29 weeks i need to be careful :( sweet things make me feel/be sick so i rarely eat them, i live on pears just now :)

I too have The Hunger! Feel sick if I don't eat around every two hours. Luckily for me, this isn't too dissimilar to my usual eating habits

Am only 5+4, and am waiting nervously for proper morning sickness to kick in. I figure I may aswell enjoy food before I go off it altogether for a few weeks?!

Only really fancying junk food atm, which is not great.
