Someone tell me this is normal!!!

[Ducky23]

I am somewhere between 5 - 7 weeks pregnant and I am CONSTANTLY hungry I am now on my second dinner of the day.

Has anyone else had this or am I just a big fat pig!?!?

[hartmel]

Totally normal.. It will go away once placenta takes over. Which is around week 9/10

Congrats

[Ducky23]

Thank you

I'm terrified of putting on too much weight!

[alita7]

very normal unfortunately

[HappyAsASandboy]

Totally normal. It might actually be morning sickness - some people eat to relieve nausea! I am finding that I feel really sick if I haven't eaten in the last five minutes recently, though I haven't actually been sick yet touch wood.

[Ducky23]

I think your onto something happy! Been getting queesy if I don't scoff my face!

DH is staring on in amazement!

[hartmel]

With my last and this pregnancy in the first and second half trimester I didn't put on weight but lost weight. Doctors don't know why.. And I ate a lot even at night that my DH is still amazed at how much I'm eating

[CbeebiesIsAboutToPop]

Completely normal, I find it comes and goes throughout pregnancy. Tere are days I'm really not hungry and have I force myself to eat the minimum and days where I just NEED food, any food I'm just so hungry!

Congratulations on the pregnancy

[Ducky23]

Thanks guys, good to know it's not just me. I was getting to the point where I was starting to beleive the hunger was just in my head and I was going insane!

Hartmel, I'm jealous! I can feel myself getting flabby! Ha

[MrsCouchman]

Yep I'm the same, only way I don't feel sick is when im eating x

[beebop100]

me too, I'm having to eat something every hour or I feel sick, I've put on quarter of a stone and I'm 7 weeks!

[PickleMobile]

My first sign of pregnancy was being ravenous all day despite eating loads!

[gamerchick]

It does make me laugh when doctors of the male kind say you only should eat an extra 500 calories to not gain weight. They don't have a clue how pregnant hunger can get

[HavannaSlife]

I used to wake up in the night and need to eat a sandwich

[Ducky23]

500!!!! That is never enough!!

[CbeebiesIsAboutToPop]

Gamer I'm on baby number 3 and my midwife was talking about nutrition in pregnancy, I admitted to putting on 3 stone in each previous pregnant and just feeling hungry all the time! I mentioned the 500 calories thing and said I was trying but was so hungry all the time I was eating more than that.
She laughed and said 'yes that's what make drs and women who have never has children say! Just go with your body and if your hungry baby needs food, don't eat for the sake of it, but eat if you need to'

I actually love my midwife!

[CbeebiesIsAboutToPop]

Argh too many spelling mistakes to correct - male drs, you're, had children.

Stupid phone

[LastOneDancing]

Normal! I put on 2st in the first 16 weeks because I had the option of feeling constantly sick or constantly snacking.

Luckily my hunger went back to normal in the third tri and had no appetite in the third so my weight gain hasn't been too horrific!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

[Ducky23]

Thanks guys doesn't help everything I'm eating is suuuper unhealthy!

[LittlePink]

Im only 4.5 weeks and im constantly hungry and thirsty the last few days. If I carry on like this im going to put a stack load of weight on and I am worried about that. With my first I was sick for the first 18 weeks and couldn't eat anything so actually lost weight. Maybe things will change at 6 wks when MS kicks in like it did last time or it wont change and i'll just keep eating and eating!

[Pregnantagain7]

I'm 16 weeks and have put a stone on but actually don't care because I really can't stop eating! I'm now trying to be healthier but it's not easy when all I can think about is chicken bloody chow mein! I wake up excited about having breakfast it ridiculous I am seriously obsessed with food I'm scared I'm going to end up like a whale! :)

[Ducky23]

Hahah pregnantagain! Excited for breakfast! that is like me!!
I don't really have other symptoms.

[LittlePink]

Food and more food here please! Sitting here starving after a huge lunch and several snacks throughout the day. Its bordering on ridiculous.

[Bobbi1234]

I am about 9 weeks with my first pregnancy and I constantly feel sick (but not actually sick) but all I do is eat eat and eat some more as it is the only thing that helps me feel better. I have a job in a call center so I sit behind my desk and stuff my face with what ever calorific product I shouldn't have that takes my fancy that morning. But I have not acctually put any weight not (yet) I am very shocked by this as I am eating compleat crap. I can't wait to feel like a normal person again apparently this should be about the 12 week mark. I bloody hope so as I look like crap from being so knackered and so sickly all the time the other afternoon I fell asleep at work !! I don't know how long I can keep this a secret from every on ethe only person at work who knows in my manger. I never knew being pregnant would be so difficult and we only a few weeks gone xx

[MrsWombat]

I'm pretty sure the first person to guess I was pregnant is the canteen lady at work.

[Bobbi1234]

Well so much for the not being sick i am so ill today it unbelivable had to book day off work and the first person to guess was a bloke at work who's Mrs recently had a baby and he noticed i looked like death and was falling asleep in the afternoon so he just asked me straight out when no one was around lol
